Universal Remote Racking Systems (RRS-1s) can remove or insert low- and medium-voltage draw-out rotary circuit breakers while the operator remains outside the arc-flash boundary. The unique design of the RRS-1, with its specially manufactured drive shafts and tooling, enables the system to operate with all types of circuit breakers produced by the major switchgear manufacturers. The remote racking system can operate with draw-out types of air, SF6, oil, and vacuum circuit breakers that have either a horizontal or vertical racking operation.

Universal Extractor Remote Racking Systems (RRS-2s) are portable and highly configurable remote racking systems built to rack all circuit breakers with non-rotary racking mechanisms while keeping the operator outside of the arc-flash boundary. The operator is able to manipulate the breaker-specific tooling, available for numerous makes and models of switchgear, via either a wired or wireless pendant station from up to 300 feet away.

RRS-2 BE Systems are designed specifically for motor control center bucket removal applications where users normally would be required to perform the install or remove operation manually — exposing them to the potential hazards of an arc flash. Designed to be extremely versatile, the RRS-2 BE is suited for use in all environments — from grueling applications in a power-generation facility to clean rooms at a high-tech manufacturing plant. The included wireless remote control allows users to operate the unit from up to 300 feet away. 

RRS-2 BE specifications
Weight: 105 lbs
Dimensions: 74″ H x 25″ W x 32″ D
System voltage: 24V DC
Input voltage: 120±10% VAC, 47-63 Hz
Operating distance: Up to 300 feet

Application-Specific Portable Remote Racking Systems (RRS-3s) are designed to remotely rack a single style of circuit breaker. These stand-alone units feature a magnetic latching system that eliminates the need to modify switchgear and allows operators to easily move the circuit breaker racking system from one breaker to another. Each RRS-3 unit comes with a remote switch operator (RSO) for operation. A radio remote option allows for closed-door racking to occur once the RRS-3 has been attached to the breaker.

Remote Switch Actuators (RSAs) are designed to remotely charge, close, and/or trip various styles and types of electrical equipment. CBS ArcSafe can custom build any remote switch actuator for any electrical device so technicians can safely operate electrical equipment from outside the arc-flash boundary. The remote-controlled actuators feature a magnetic latching system, which eliminates the need for modifications to switchgear. Easy installation and removal allow operators to quickly move the remote switch actuator from one breaker to another.

Remote Switch Kits (RSKs) are designed to remotely operate control switches that have pistol-grip style handles. Offering maximum portability, the lightweight RSK products differ from other CBS ArcSafe products by providing complete kits that include a handheld controller, batteries, control cable, an actuator with remote control, and a rugged carrying case. CBS ArcSafe Chicken Switch RSKs are designed to act as a remote electrical switch to operate (close/trip) select models of circuit breakers and motor control centers from a safe distance.
