Working with electrical equipment and installations requires care, competence and precautionary protective measures to keep people and equipment safe.

Therefore, we are happy to attend the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS) Electrical Safety, Technical, Maintenance, and Projects (ESTMP) workshop in Calgary this week. This workshop provides a valuable forum for exchanging and advancing industry knowledge combined with collaboration and innovation to promote electrical safety.

Arcteq's Product Manager Mikko Manninen had an honor to speak about Arc flash protection at the workshop. Arc flash protection is a huge contributor to safety of people working with switchgear maintenance systems.

Arcteq’s innovative Arc quenching device that can be re-activated by physical reset, allows full testing of the arc protection system. And testing is the only way to know that the system works as expected, should an arc flash fault occur. This feature in Arc Quenching devices therefore is a huge unique advantage to the end users.
