Stay Outside the Arc-Flash Boundary with Remote Racking Systems
CBS ArcSafe® remote racking systems (RRS) reduce the need for full-body arc-flash hazard suits by allowing operating personnel to automatically rack circuit breakers from outside the arc-flash boundary. The unique design of these remote racking devices enables operation of all types of low- and medium-voltage circuit breakers produced by major switchgear manufacturers. These devices come in three categories to meet your needs for rotary-type equipment, extractor-type equipment, and application-specific portable remote racking.
For more information on remote racking devices, watch our videos and request an in-person demonstration at your facility.

RSO; RSO-I; RSO-II; RSO-III: US Patent No. 8,006,371B1
RSO-IAR-M18
The RSO-IAR-M18 operator is a rechargeable 24V DC power supply that, when used in conjunction with the RSA, will remotely perform any switching procedure that normally would require local op ration by trained personnel.
Devices
- Operating pushbuttons, such as circuit breaker trip and close buttons
- Operating levers, such as those found on motor control center buckets
- Operating handles requiring single strokes
- Operating rotary and pistol-grip switches, such as breaker control switches
RSO-IIID-M18
The RSO-IIID-M18 is a rechargeable 24V DC power supply that, when used in conjunction with remote switch actuators, will remotely operate any electrical device needing to be charged, closed and/or tripped. While the RSO-I only closes or trips equipment, the RSO-IIID-M18 performs the more complex operations of charging, closing, and tripping.
Devices
- Operating pushbuttons, such as circuit breaker trip and close buttons
- Operating charging handles requiring single or multiple cycles
- Engaging or disengaging mechanical interlocks, such as circuit breaker interlock foot-pedals
RSO-IV-M18
The RSO-IV-M18 operator is a rechargeable 24V DC power supply that, when used in conjunction with an appropriate single-use Remote Racking System (RRS-3), will remotely perform any racking operation that would normally require local operation by trained personnel. Tasks the RSO and RRS-3s can perform include, but are not limited to, the following operations:
Devices
- Works with RRS-3 Single-Use Remote Racking Systems
- Installing and removing any switchgear utilizing a rotary racking mechanism
- Installing and removing any switchgear utilizing a non-rotary racking mechanism
- Engaging or disengaging mechanical or electrical interlocks, such as circuit breaker interlock foot-pedals or buttons
- NEW - Blue Indicator beacon alerts user when input settings have been reached
