Safety

Design phase - assure safety
  • Through the online Design Resource Center and our experts, you have access to the in-depth knowledge to assess your specific needs, and provide recommendations on safe, reliable, cost-effective design alternatives.
  • From our invention of the safety switch over 100 years ago, the Square D brand has been the industry leader in electrical distribution equipment
    • Square D® Power-Zone® switchgear – proven, reliable, and durable low voltage switchgear offering thru-the-door breaker operation, up to 200kA without fuses.
    • Square D HVL/cc™ and HVL™ metal enclosed switchgear – ANSI rated 5-38kV switchgear for applications up to 1200A offering zero maintenance switch contacts, IR windows, and electrically operated switches.
    • MasterClad® medium voltage switchgear – rugged, safe, reliable metal-clad performance available with Arc Terminator™ – arc resistance in a superior solution designed to interrupt power so quickly that it protects both human life and equipment.
    • Square D Masterpact® arc flash circuit breakers – protects against both overcurrent and arc flash
  • Start-up and commissioning services – safe, reliable functional performance testing of electrical equipment by the only manufacturer’s service organization specifically referenced in NFPA 70B.
Operation phase- enhancing safety

By combining system design, training and maintenance services, many safety risks can be easily mitigated within your facility.

  • Arc Flash Assessments - performed by professional engineers, identify approach boundaries and appropriate levels of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for your employees required for compliance to NFPA 70E and OSHA
  • Training – Schneider Electric has been developing and providing training programs and educational equipment for more than 25 years.
  • Maintenance – Comprehensive service programs for all your electrical distribution and control equipment, with the support required to keep your facility running at peak efficiency.
Modernization phase- increase safety

Square D brand electrical distribution equipment and Services are designed to meet the needs of low and medium voltage applications in either new or retrofit installations.

  • Switchgear retrofilled with Square D Masterpact® NW and NT circuit breakers clear faults very quickly and provide comparable arc flash protection to fuses at high currents and better arc flash protection at lower currents
  • Coordinating complex low and medium voltage electrical distribution systems is one of our core competencies. Square D Services provides complete turnkey solutions to increase safety, lower life cycle cost, maximize power system reliability and to make one source accountable for all actions
