Eaton has announced that its Cutler-Hammer brand Series C and Series G moulded case circuit breakers outperform the calculations listed in the IEEE standard 1584-2002, Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations. In-house testing indicates personnel should wear a maximum of Category 1 PPE hazard risk protection when working downstream of the breakers. Testing was conducted at 480 V at a UL-certified test lab. Nine different Series C and Series G frames and 20 different types were tested, with breaker sizes ranging from 15 A to 1,200 A (continuous current). Tested faults ranged from 15 times the handle rating through 100,000 amperes for the breakers.
