(For 480 V systems with 85\,000 A of available fault curr ent or less at a working distance of 18")\n• Enhanced safety – Exceeds C37.20.7 arc-resistant testing requirements by demonstrating acceptance e ven when breakers are removed\, doors are open and covers are removed - wi thout the need for ducts\, plenums or special construction\n• Advanced e quipment protection – Protects valuable switchgear assets from arc flash damage\n• Dramatically reduced downtime – Switchgear can be quickly r eturned to service after an arc flash event\n\nHow Arc Quenching Switchgea r works:\nArc Quenching Switchgear detects and contains an arc fault in le ss than 4 milliseconds\, drastically reducing the incident energy. It work s by detecting the ignition of an arc inside the switchgear using the Eato n Arc Flash Relay and transferring it to the Arc Quenching Device. Arc Que nching Switchgear transfers the arc by creating a lower-impedance arcing f ault\, not a bolted fault\, safely contained inside the Arc Quenching Devi ce. This reduces the peak fault current by at least 25% and puts less stre ss on upstream equipment during a quenching operation.\n\nSpeaker(s): Came ron Clark\, \n\nAgenda: \n5:30 – 6:00 Social time\n\n6:00 Dinner order f or attendees\, purchase on own\n\n6:15 Speaker begins presentation\n\n7:15 -7:30 Speaker concludes\n\n7:30 Event concludes\n\nSignificant others and Students are welcome and encouraged to attend!\n\nRoom: Private Dining Roo m\, Safari Room at the Davenport Tower\, 111 South Post Street\, Spokane\, Washington\, United States\, 99201 LOCATION:Room: Private Dining Room\, Safari Room at the Davenport Tower\, 1 11 South Post Street\, Spokane\, Washington\, United States\, 99201 ORGANIZER:janelle.lee@kestrelenggroup.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Arc Flash Protection - Arc Quenching Switchgear URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/194238 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 14pt\;">Learn abou t new technology to reduce incident energy\, protect personnel and equipme nt\, and reduce downtime.</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>P lease join IEEE Industry Application Society in welcoming Cameron Clark to the Safari Room where he will share information regarding some of the lat est developments in arc flash protection.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Arc Quenching Swi tchgear provides:</p>\n<p>&bull\; <strong>Exceptional incident energy redu ction</strong> &ndash\; Reduces incident energy to less than 1.2 cal/cm2\, far below methods that rely solely on a power circuit breaker to clear th e fault.
