GE's New AKD-20 Low-Voltage Switchgear with EntelliGuard® Breaker-Trip Unit Enhances Arc-Flash Protection Without Sacrificing Selectivity
November 2, 2008
PLAINVILLE, CT - That new twinkle in the eyes of switchgear end-users,
consultants and specifiers-people with major concerns or oversight of
mission-critical electrical loads-may be elation over the new AKD-20
Low-Voltage Switchgear from GE Consumer & Industrial's Electrical
Distribution business. It is GE's answer to the widely held assumption
held by many oil, gas and commercial construction professionals that
greater arc-flash protection comes at the expense of selectivity.
