Single-Use Portable Remote Racking Tools (RRS-3)
Single-Use Portable Remote Racking Tools
Each CBS ArcSafe RRS-3 Single-Use Remote Racking System is a portable, standalone device designed to remotely rack a single type/style circuit breaker.
These inexpensive, single-application remote breaker racking systems allow the operator to use a hand-control unit to install and remove a breaker while standing up to 90 meters away.
RRS-3 units are most commonly assisted by strong magnets, meaning that no modifications to your switchgear are required. This also allows operators to easily move the RRS-3 from one breaker to another.
Each RRS-3 is custom-built to interface with your specific circuit breaker and is provided with an RSO-IV remote switch operator, which is required for its operation. A radio remote control is also available.

Remote Switch Operator
Model RRS-3 requires the RSO-IV to operate. All RRS-3 units come with the RSO-IV.
With the RSO-IV, a service technician can remotely operate on RRS-3 remote racking device for circuit breakers from a safe distance.
By allowing service personnel to stand outside the arc-flash boundary, the CBS ArcSafe RSO-IV for the RRS-3 reduces the need for a full-body arc-flash hazard suit.
Some units will require the RSO-IV-NW; the RSO-IV-NW is an extension of the RSO-IV that allows the operator to operate interlocks.
