2 Limitamp AR - Arc Resistant Introduction Limitamp AR is the Arc Resistant version of the Limitamp, providing a solution for flash conditions, increasing the safety and protection defined in the applicable I standards. The new Limitamp AR edium Voltage otor ontrollers meet the safety requirements of the market, offering more reliable operation and control of edium Voltage installations. This new construction includes a complete product offering of 00A/00A starters and other controllers. The Limitamp AR is designed to provide a reliable solution to the growing demand for Arc Resistant equipment in the market place. The uniquely designed Limitamp AR products have passed a rigorous testing program as specified by the I/ASI Type safety standard. They are designed to provide personnel protection on the front, rear and sides of the enclosure in the event of an arc flash occurrence. This means that when the medium voltage doors are properly secured, the service technician can access the interior of the low voltage compartment, and the Limitamp AR provides the protection from a potential arc flash event. Limitamp AR keeps the same basic design, features and general applications of the R1 Limitamp control and the vacuum contactor, meeting U and all other requirements.

3 onstruction The low voltage door on the front of each unit includes pilot lights, switches and relays. This compartment provides easy access to the secondary devices while the main medium voltage front door is closed. It is isolated from the live parts of the unit, providing increased safety under arc flash conditions. In the case of an internal arc fault inside the vertical section, all the gases and other materials produced as result of the fault are directed to the upper part of the vertical section. The robust design of the enclosure, and medium voltage doors prevents front, bottom and side exhaust. articles and gases are directed to the upper part of the vertical section, through the vent flaps and plenum to an external area determined by the customer, away from the gear and personnel. very vertical section includes a plenum fabricated of thick (1 gauge) sheet steel, and along with others in adjacent sections, form a duct along the top of the Limitamp AR. etail of low voltage compartment when medium voltage door is closed The plenum system is not installed at the factory. It is supplied for field installation. xtra segments can be ordered, depending on the particular characteristics of the installation site. The last segment of the duct is provided with a cap to direct the arc flash particles and gases away from the gear and the operator. -igh Limitamp AR with low voltage door open When the main door is open, an extra glass-reinforced polyester barrier is provided in the back of the low voltage compartment for protection, as shown in photo below. Arc uct / lenum showing exhaust cap at the last segment. ach cubicle is provided with reinforced doors that incorporate special hinges, gaskets, handles and latches to ensure proper sealing in front of the section. The Limitamp AR Arc Resistant edium Voltage otor ontrols are manufactured using heavy duty reinforced side panels in a 1/ thick (11 gauge) welded steel construction which, in conjunction with other mechanical features and special bolted pieces provide additional safety for arc flash conditions.
