  • Page 2 A remote switch operator is the power and control console for service personnel to remotely charge, close, and trip circuit breakers from a safe distance using a CBS ArcSafe® RSA. The RSO can be used in conjunction with the CBS ArcSafe® remote racking system for complete charge, close, trip, and racking operations or independently as a stand-alone device for use with a remote racking system.

    (Fig. 3) designed to quickly secure the cubicle brace and the RRS-2 to the cubicle. Tooling (Fig. 1.5) – The RRS-2 tooling is custom built for every breaker and allows for the RRS-2 to attach to a variety of breakers simply by swapping out the tooling. Typically, the main actuator racks the circuit breaker while the secondary actuator depresses the circuit breaker interlocks although this may differ depending on the breaker and switchgear being repositioned.

Stair Climber Rails *optional (Fig. 1.3) – The stair climbers allow for the RRS-2 to easily be moved up/down stairs and in/out of vehicles. Pneumatic Tires *optional (Fig. 1.4) – The RRS-2 may be equipped with optional pneumatic tires in order for the RRS-2 to easily travel over gravel or other rough surfaces.

    They both use an internal clutch to limit force available to prevent over racking. The actuator attaches to the RRS-2 via the slide rail, and can easily be repositioned with the lever locks (Fig. 2-4). Secondary Actuator (Fig. 1.5) – The secondary actuator is generally used on the circuit breakers interlocks and supplies the driving force needed to engage circuit breaker interlock devices which are normally actuated manually by the operator.
