Low Voltage Switchgear Arc Flash Solutions

Every year, 175 people in the US are killed due to Arc Flash and 2,000 seriously burned. Siemens has taken a series of actions to drastically reduce the risk of arc flash.

I hope to see switchgear like this everywhere in the near future. Lots and lots of OLD CRAP out there, where some havent been operated in 20-40 years, and are absolutely lethal. If only it was so easy as to go to the adjacent room and press a button!
Also, building your switchgear cabinets to withstand arc incidents better is genious.

"175 people killed in the US due to Arch Flash"

OSHA reported two deaths due to arc flash from Oct 1, 2009 - Sep 30, 2010.
