What is Safe-T-Rack®?

Safe-T-Rack® (STR ® )  is an innovative, patented tool for circuit breaker remote racking and control. This product family was specifically developed to provide users of low and medium voltage circuit  breakers, including GE vertical lift (MagneBlast) designs and a variety of horizontally racked breakers, a comprehensive alternative to arc flash protection garments.

What can Remote Racking do for  you?

OSHA Standards now regognize the hazards associated with arc flash incidents as defined in NFPA 70E.  The new OSHA standards create heightened awareness of arc flash mitigation solution requirements associated with circuit breaker  racking operations.  By incorporating the Safe-T-Rack® system.  Our customers are providing their employees a safer operating environment for their personnel through the proven method of adding distance between the operator and the arc flash incident energy at the switchgear site.  The application of a Safe-T-Rack® solution will ensure compliance with new arc flash mitigation regulations and bring operation of power circuit breakers to a new level of safety.

Safe-T-Rack® SRH System being operated at a distance of 80+ feet. 
The Safe-T-Rack® family of products is designed to be scalable and future-proof. Offering a fully portable system, including a color touch screen interface with true closed-door racking capability for increased operator safety, is unmatched in the industry.  Redundant digital drives with battery backup provide failsafe racking in the event of a power failure.  Real-time breaker travel indication and user controlls include an emergency stop at any time during racking, manual start/stop, and automatic retrieval and recovery of a circuit breaker, make the Safe-T-Rack® system the benchmark of remote racking tools.

WHEN SAFETY AND RELIABILITY MATTER MOST 

The Universal System Controller provides over eighty-feet of arc flash protection for the operator.

Beyond Flash Suits

 There is no better protection against the deadly possibilities of an arc-flash incident than a safe working distance between the operator and the switchgear. This gives Safe-T-Rack® a unique advantage over cumbersome flash suits designed only to decrease exposure to burns. Only Safe-T-Rack® provides protection against airborne projectiles often associated with arc-flash fatalities.

Safe-T-Rack® provides the confidence of knowing that your plant is providing its employees with the best option for safely operating your switchgear.
