Ampgard AR arc-resistant medium-voltage motor control is certified to IEEE Std. C37.20.7-2017 and is designed to safely contain and redirect exhaust gases away from the operator in the event of an arc flash incident. Ampgard AR is rated arc-resistant Type 2B enhancing safety from the front, sides and rear of the enclosure, even with the low-voltage control doors open. The robust construction of the Ampgard AR is designed to resist the forces of an arc fault up to 50 kA for a full 0.5 seconds.
