The FlashGard motor control center (MCC) features an updated range of arc-resistant features to help further strengthen protection against arc flash events. This solution combines arc-preventive and arc-resistant technology within a single MCC. Designed to emphasize prevention, insulation, and isolation, the patented FlashGard design enables units to be disconnected and reconnected to the vertical bus with the unit door closed; maintaining a dead-front barrier during maintenance operations helps enhance operator safety. The MCC incorporates a RotoTrack racking mechanism, designed to provide bus isolation, stab indication, and lockout features to proactively prevent the initiation of an arc flash event.
