CBS ArcSafe Hits the Road Again to Help Your Operators Stay Safe All Year Long
CBS
ArcSafe’s outside representatives will hit the road again beginning
June 1. If you need an on-site product demonstration, site evaluation,
or training, we are ready to assist. Our team will take safety
precautions seriously. We’ll follow all required and requested personal
safety guidelines at customer sites and maintain social distancing rules
as we get back to work. When you call to schedule a visit with one of
our outside representatives, tell us of any specific personal safety
requirements for visiting your facility so we can be well prepared when
we arrive. Call us today at 877-472-3389 or email us at info@cbsarcsafe.com.
Not only do we take your health safety seriously; we also look out for
your electrical safety. In fact, May is Electrical Safety Month, so as
businesses around the country re-enter the marketplace and as factories
restart their machines, this is an ideal time to renew awareness about
staying safe and preventing arc-flash and electrical incidents.
Statistics show that even trained professionals are not immune from
electrical risks. OSHA estimates that more than 2,000 workers go to the
hospital each year to be treated for arc-flash burns. This figure may
represent the tip of the iceberg, since not all incidents are reported.
A study published in Industrial Safety and Hygiene News estimates that
on average, 30,000 arc-flash incidents occur every year. These five tips can help reduce the number of incidents and keep your operators safe.
Our mission at CBS ArcSafe™ is to provide each customer with the highest
quality remote operation equipment available, because we know that
Distance Is Safety. Let us know how CBS ArcSafe can help keep your operators safe.

Wireless Chicken Switch® Devices Now Available, See RSK-CS01W in Action
In 2018, CBS ArcSafe acquired Martek Ltd., makers of the Chicken Switch®
brand of remote switch operators. Since then, CBS ArcSafe has invested
in the company’s West Virginia location, hired new talent, and
encouraged product improvements that add more distance and user
convenience. The new remote switch kit (RSK) models
CS01W, CS03W, and CS04W add up to 100 feet of operating distance,
improving on the cabled version of the device, which comes with a
standard 30-foot (or optional 50-foot) control cable. The new wireless
models come standard with the M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery and charger by
Milwaukee. The rechargeable clip-in battery improves ease of use over
the original CS01 by eliminating the need to frequently replace 16 AA
batteries. Watch now.

Vacuum Interrupters Can Help You Predict Remaining Equipment Life
Many
original vacuum bottles inside switchgear are nearing the end of life.
To assess the condition of these bottles before they fail and determine
the remaining life of vacuum interrupters in the field, Group CBS
partner Vacuum Interrupters (VI) offers the magnetron atmospheric
condition assessment, or MAC test. In addition to predicting the amount
of life left in interrupters, VI can provide vacuum bottle interrupter
replacements for any manufacturer’s medium-voltage circuit breaker or
vacuum contactor. VI also offers pole assembly replacement, parts, and
test sets, and can conduct high-voltage testing and certification of
your equipment at its high-voltage testing laboratory. Learn more.
