Bad ass. EATON out here straight killin' it!

[@terracar2003]

4 milliseconds is insane! For reference airbags typically deploy in around 20-60 milliseconds! And the average reaction time is 300-500 milliseconds

[@GammaRays134]

Nice. Revolutionary

[@mickaelpagnon4588]

Nice realisation.

[@sekhard2358]

Good safety breaker

It's mind boggling tech has been developed to stop an arc flash catastrophe in just 4 milliseconds

[@TLllllll]

It’s mind boggling anyone would set a metal wrench across phases (if this story is true).

[@sgtbrown4273]

That's actually a pretty good idea.

[@GreeceUranusPutin]

Where can I get one? How much do they cost? I've gotta have it!

[@stonefaceBRC]

If I were an electrical engineer or whatever I'd sure want one of these

[@GreeceUranusPutin]

It creates a lower impedance path than that wrench?

[@John-l1f4m]

Impressive, VERY

[@ryanjhi2224]

I hate it when I leave the wrench between the power phases.

[@KrizzNANDU]

Awesome.

[@growingmushrooms.101]

Love it

[@Black_Kakari]

How does it do it so fast?!

[@debbiebernhardt5406]

Don’t forget ups trip sensor system response speed.

[@loginavoidence12]

here's a novel idea: do a tool check before putting your panels back on
