RRS-1

 – Remote Racking System for rotary type breakers 

 

The  RRS-1  is  a  universal  remote  racking  system  capable  of  removing  or  inserting  low  and  medium 
voltage  draw  out  rotary  circuit  breakers  while  the  operator  remains  outside  the  arc  flash  boundary. 
This device is portable, weighing less than 200 pounds, and user friendly requiring no modifications to 
the switchgear or circuit breakers. Each system will be custom designed to fit your switchgear needs. 

 

RRS-2

 – Remote Racking System for extraction type breakers 

The  RRS-2  is  a  universal  remote  racking  system  capable  of  removing  or  inserting  low  and  medium 
voltage  non-rotary  circuit  breakers  while  the  operator  remains  outside  the  arc  flash  boundary.  This 
device is portable, weighing less than 200 pounds, and user friendly requiring no modifications to the 
switchgear or circuit breaker. Each system will be custom designed to fit your switchgear needs.

 

 
RRS-3

 – Single Application Remote Racking System 

The RRS-3 system is an inexpensive single application remote racking system which allows the 
operator to install and remove a breaker while standing 25 to 75 feet away with a hand control unit. 
CBS ArcSafe also offers a radio remote option which allows for operation up to 150 feet away without 
the need for an extension cable.  The radio remote option in some cases allows for closed door racking 
to occur once the RRS-3 has been attached to the breaker.

  

 
RSO

 – Remote Switch Operator 

 

A remote switch operator is the power and control console for service personnel to remotely charge, 
close, and trip circuit breakers from a safe distance using a CBS ArcSafe® RSA.  The RSO can be used in 
conjunction with the CBS ArcSafe® remote racking system for complete charge, close, trip, and racking 
operations or independently as a stand-alone device for use with a remote racking system.  Each CBS 
ArcSafe®  remote  switch  operator  can  also  be  operated  with  an  optional  wired/wireless  pendant 
station. 

 

RSA

 – Remote Switch Actuator 

 

A  remote  switch  actuator  allows  service  personnel  to  move,  push,  pull,  charge,  close,  and/or  trip 
circuit  breakers  and  other  electrical  equipment  from  a  safe  distance  in  conjunction  with  a  CBS 
ArcSafe®  RSO.    The  remote  switching  actuator  attaches  to  the  front  of  your  circuit  breaker  and  is 
mechanically  assisted  by  magnets  without  the  need  for  any  modification  to  your  switchgear.    After 
setup and installation the RSO controls the RSA’s operation.
