ABB’s SafeT™ Interiors use a patented circuit breaker adaptor to make UL67 panelboards and UL891 switchboards faster and more cost-effective to assemble
ABB has introduced new SafeT Interiors, designed to make UL67 panelboards and UL891 switchboards quicker and more cost-effective for manufacturers to produce. A patented adaptor means circuit breakers plug right in, simplifying assembly, reducing labor costs and assuring build quality.
The new SafeT Interiors help customers who construct electrical distribution systems, commonly used for lighting and interior power applications, to make significant process improvements. By eliminating complex, labor-intensive strap kits from UL67 and UL891 designs, boards are easier to upgrade and service.
ABB Electrification Products product marketing manager Mike Dutoit said: “The new SafeT Interiors show why ABB is the supplier of choice for panel builders focused on their competitiveness. ABB’s line of SafeT In-teriors introduces a patented breaker adaptor that makes manufacturing UL67 panelboards and UL891 switchboards faster and easier than ever.”
SafeT Interiors are designed for low-voltage distribution panelboards that comply with UL67 and switch-boards that comply with UL891. They are available for applications rated up to 600 volts and all come with an IP20 finger-safe vertical bus as standard.
The plug-in adaptor supports the breaker and provides phase separation during installation. The breakers can be installed in a flash, only requiring one or two screws and a screw driver. Not only is circuit breaker re-placement easier, with fewer potential installation failure points, the SafeT Interior designs higher levels of quality and robustness into any installation.
