An arc flash is the explosive release of energy that occurs when there is a phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground arc fault. This arc fault may be the result of unsafe work procedures such as a dropped tool or accidental contact, or by corrosion, insulation failure, conductive dust, contact by animals and other factors. Arc flash is a major safety concern for any application that incorporates high current electrical equipment, and its prevention should be considered from the very beginning of any application design. Rittal’s arc flash products are designed to minimize exposure to energized equipment by allowing for programming, data acquisition and system adjustment without opening the door—keeping arc flash hazards contained within the enclosure and away from possible human error or other variables that can lead to accidents.

Form follows function. Remaining true to this clear principle, Rittal has developed a console system with an unmistakeable slim-line appearance. The enhanced design was chosen not simply for the sake of change, but as a perfect realisation of the human/machine interface. Incorporating very special qualities with regard to modular configuration, ease of assembly and system accessories – and that all combined with outstanding cost benefits. Top form down to the finest detail. A design with that something extra!
