Arc flash protection devices (medium-voltage)
The AQ 100 series of medium-voltage arc flash devices is built to meet the growing demands in MV switchgear and controlgear applications.
Improve safety with our extensive portfolio of arc flash mitigation solutions including arc quenching and arc-resistant switchgear, Power Xpert XGIS switchgear, Power Xpert Dashboard, Power Defense molded case circuit breaker, Insulgard, arc flash relays and more.
Unlike conventional switchgear, arc-resistant switchgear is designed with reinforced compartments that can withstand incredible pressure increases during high-energy arc faults. Arc-resistant switchgear offers a safe, proven, and cost-effective solution to the problem of arc flash events. Why do I need Arc-Resistant Switchgear?
Crown Arc-Resistant Switchgear Crown Technical Systems is one of the few companies in the world that engineers and manufactures arc-resistant switchgear. Our original engineering team pioneered the widespread use of arc-resistant gear throughout Canada.
An arc flash is an electrical explosion where energy leaves the circuit that it is contained in and travels through the air. The blast from an arc event combines voltage, heat—up to 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit—and violent concussion. Even with special PPE, those in the vicinity of an arc flash risk injury or even death.
