Designed to save lives and reduce injuries from fault explosions, Sarracs safety remote breaker racking system allows operators to perform racking procedures from a distance of up to 40' away from the cell rather than within a breaker's flash boundary. Though OSHA and NFPA regulations require that personnel wear full-body flash suits during racking procedures on an energized system, suited operators remain vulnerable to intense heat, percussive forces and airborne debris from a fault explosion. The racking system utilizes the company's S7-200 PLC for digital position control and customized position-torque control to help prevent equipment damage.
