As distribution systems expand to meet growing demand, available fault currents imposed on equipment are increasing through stiffened transmission systems, greater substation capacity and on-site and distributed generation. These currents may exceed their thermal, mechanical and interrupting capability, leading to catastrophic failure. Protect your system with CLiP, an electronically sensed and triggered, commutating form of current limiter protection using a copper busbar path that carries the continuous current. CLiP will limit blast and arc flash exposure, mitigates fire, reduces magnitude of peak let-through current and shields overdutied equipment from damage and catastrophic failure for a 20-year lifespan.
