Remote Racking & Remote Switching Systems LV MV HV

As the electrical industry’s leader for remote racking systems (LV, MV, HV), Thorne & Derrick’s mission, together with CBS ArcSafe, is to provide each customer with the highest quality remote operation equipment available.

The goal is to provide custom-fit electrical safety equipment to prevent arc flash injuries to personnel, ensuring that they can return home to their families.

CBS ArcSafe’s extensive line of arc flash mitigation products, in conjunction with training and awareness, has rendered arc flash injuries not only avoidable but unacceptable in today’s workplace.

CBS ArcSafe remote racking systems allow service personnel to remain outside the arc flash protection boundary when racking low and medium voltage draw-out circuit breakers, minimising the need for a full-body arc flash suit. These systems help ensure compliance with NFPA 70E by providing a safer method for operating circuit breakers and protecting personnel from arc flash hazards.

The CBS ArcSafe RRS-1 is a versatile remote racking system designed to safely insert or remove low and medium voltage draw-out rotary circuit breakers, allowing the operator to remain outside the arc flash boundary. This system is compatible with circuit breakers that use a jack screw mechanism for insertion and removal. Remote Racking System - CBS Arc Safe RRS-1
Remote Racking System - CBS Arc Safe RRS-1 LT The CBS ArcSafe RRS-1 LT is a lightweight and compact counterpart to the industry-leading RRS-1 universal rotary remote circuit breaker racking system. The RRS-1 LT is designed specifically for applications and environments where a weight and/or size constraint may limit the use of the RRS-1.
The CBS ArcSafe RRS-4 remote circuit breaker racking device boasts many of the same structural and mechanical components as the CBS ArcSafe RRS-1 unit, which make it the most portable, easily adjustable, and user friendly Remote Racking System in the industry today.

CBS ArcSafe universal remote circuit breaker racking devices can accommodate a wide variety of low- and medium-voltage circuit breaker types from different manufacturers.

The unique design of each rotary remote racking system with its specially manufactured drive shafts and couplings enable it to accommodate numerous types of circuit breakers which have a jack screw rotary mechanism for insertion and extraction.

They can be used with drawout type air, SF6 and vacuum circuit breakers that have either a horizontal or vertical racking mechanism.
