About PACS
PACS Industries, Inc., has been in business since 1972, and has concentrated on the manufacture of Medium Voltage Metalclad Switchgear in the range of 2400 Volts, to 41 kV, and to Standards of IEEE C37.20.2 and IEC 298. Our 170,000 square foot factory is in Mount Vernon, Ohio. In the range of 2400 Volts to 15 kV (17.5 kV IEC), PACS will use circuit breaker elements manufactured by G.E., Cutler-Hammer, Siemens, or other reputable companies. For 27 kV Class circuit breakers, PACS manufactures a proprietary series of drawout circuit breakers, utilizing Vacuum Interrupters , or SF6 Interrupters . Circuit breaker trucks and cells are built to the standards of IEEE C37.20.2, and include all required ANSI C37.20.2 features such as metal shutters, automatic secondary plugs, automatic trip upon breaker movement in the cell, etc. Type Test data is available to the standards of IEEE C37.20.04, 06, 09 for circuit breakers, to C37.20.2 for distribution switchgear, C37.013 for generator Switchgear, and to C37.20.07 for Arc Resistant switchgear (as well as relevant I.E.C. Standards). Short circuit Type Tests are usually performed at KEMA. The PACS Laboratory includes a 230 kV BIL Impulse generator, a 9,000 Amp Heat run facility, Partial Discharge Test Equipment, Hi-pots, Meggers, etc. Switchgear available as PACSafe Arc Resistant switchgear. Ground switches are available. PACS can provide streaming video services of switchgear being manufactured or tested, as an option.

This catalog has combined in one issue, drawout metalclad switchgear from the operating ranges of 2400 Volts, through 27kV. Although the dielectric characteristics of these ratings vary between the voltage classes (5 kV, 8.25 kv, 15 kV & 27 kV), the dimensions, features and operation have sufficient in common, to list them together. Switchgear is available in two high (circuit breaker) construction to 2000 Amps. Above 2000 Amps, there should be only one circuit breaker per vertical cell. Drawout potential transformers can be installed over a circuit breaker only up to 2000 Amps.

Arc-Flash Avoidance PACSafe

Avoid Arc-Flash
The best way to avoid a destructive electrical ArcFault blast is through preventive means. PACSafe continuously monitors live bus bars for corona and voltage, and detects deteriorating insulation systems. Level adjustments include warning or shutdown setpoints, allowing repairs, avoiding Arc-Flash explosions. Can be fed to a computer for long time analysis & event recording.

Failures

PARTIAL DISCHARGE ANALYZERS:

For retrofit of existing switchgear, or new switchgear.

Request PACSafe Catalog

ARC-MITIGATION SYSTEM:
In the event that an Arc-Flash does occur in switchgear, it is imperative that the fault source be disconnected as quickly as possible, to avoid or mitigate damage to equipment or personnel. The PACSafe Type Arc Detection system, immediately senses a light flash in a switchgear cubicle when an Arc-Flash occurs, and simultaneously senses for Rate-of-Rise of current. A signal is sent to targeted breaker trip coils, bypassing Protective relays, tripping in as low as 57ms, mitigating Arc-Fault damage. This compares to over 300 ms trip time in Selective Coordination relay systems. Damage to the switchgear is proportional to the time duration of the Arc-Fault. The shorter the duration, the less damage will occur.

For retrofit of existing switchgear, or new switchgear.

Request PACSafe Catalog

ARC-RESISTANT SWITCHGEAR:
PACSafe Arc-resistant switchgear is available, designed and tested in accordance with IEEE C37.20.7 standards. PACS has successfully tested single high and 2 high switchgear. IEEE Types 1, 2, 1C & 2C, at the KEMA laboratories. The PACSafe Arc-Resistant designs include available top mounted Collector Plenums, to safely duct the Arc-Fault flames, heat, pressure, smoke & debris out of the switchgear room, into a safe disposal area.
