Substation Protection, Arc Flash and Safety Devices

Arc flash and electrical hazards can be greatly reduced with modern substation protection and controls.  Power Precision designs, builds, installs and commissions panels and remote racking systems for substation protection and control. See our Remote Racking video.

Power Precision engineers and technicians team up to design and install protection and controls to reduce hazards to people and equipment.  Below is a list of just some examples of safety improvements that we can install

• breaker remote racking and operating controls
• breaker monitoring, metering and setting via Ethernet networks (click for more info)
• enhanced electrical protection such as differential relaying, arc flash light detection, arc flash reduction mode
• vacuum breaker retrofits and upgrades of upstream protective devices
• arc flash light detection
• arc flash quenching to nearly eliminate incident energy at < 1 cal/cm2
• non contact voltage test points
• continuous monitoring of insulation resistance
• bus voltage indication with capacitive LED indicators
• IR viewing windows to allow thermal imaging with doors closed
• Handheld devices for remote tripping and programming LV breakers.
