FlashGard is Eaton’s Arc Free / Arc Resistant ANSI solution for Power Distribution and Motor Control Centers – the end result of decades as the ANSI leader in switchgear assemblies and applications. The Flashguard solution incorporates patented design features unmatched in the industry.

• RotoTrack mechanism allows the unit to be disconnected from the vertical bus with the door closed; safest place to be is behind a door while stabbing in a unit.
• Optional remote operated racking device can advance and retract the bus stabs from a distance of up to 25 feet, helping maintain the closed-door unit which is instrumental in mitigating an arc event.
• Once the stabs are racked out of the vertical bus there is no voltage present in the unit from the bus, providing a safe working environment free of arc flash hazards.
• ARC Reduction Maintenance System (ARMS) applied to the breaker feeding the motor control center reduces the trip time during an arc flash.
• Unrestrictive racking mechanism prevents over torqueing of the RotoTrack.
