CBS ArcSafe RSA-2 Remote Switch Actuator

The CBS ArcSafe RSA-2 Remote Switch Actuator is a rugged, magnetically attached remote switching device that enables technicians to move, charge, close, and trip circuit breakers and other equipment from outside the arc-flash boundary. It is designed to mount on the front of the breaker and, when used with CBS ArcSafe's Remote Switch Operator (RSO), is controlled from a handheld controller or wireless remote, eliminating the need to modify switchgear. The RSA-2 remotely performs switching operations on a wide range of equipment, including circuit breakers, motor controls, and control circuits, with CBS ArcSafe noting that RSA devices are compatible with a broad set of makes and models via custom designs. The system relies on a magnetic latching mechanism for quick attachment and removal, and the RSO supplies the control power to operate the RSA. Each RSA is sold as a standalone actuator, with multiple control options available, and customers can pair it with the appropriate RSO or other CBS ArcSafe control solutions to extend safe operation distances. Ideal applications include maintenance, testing, and operational switching in facilities seeking to keep personnel outside the arc-flash zone while performing voltage-close, trip, or open actions on low- to medium-voltage gear.
