ArcBlok 2500 Line-Side Arc Flash Protection - Digital Connectivity | Schneider Electric
ArcBlok is designed with features that help avoid an arc flash before it happens. Barriers keep foreign objects, such as a hand, a dropped nut, or a screwdriver from entering the energized line side. Sensors inside the compartment continuously take thermal readings and communicate those to a mobile device, while maintenance personnel stands outside the arc flash zone to review. With EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert, you can view this data in real-time and as a trend over time, allowing for early detection of gradual changes. The ArcBlok event indicator is a pressure sensor used to monitor and indicate when an arc flash has occurred and been contained. Power Monitoring Expert software can notify you through email or SMS when an arc flash event has been detected and mitigated. Watch the video HERE. |
