⚠️ Warning: Cool content incoming. Electrical safety isn’t optional in heavy industry — it’s mission-critical. Arc-resistant motor control and drive systems are designed to protect personnel from the dangers of arc-flash events while improving system reliability and reducing downtime. In high-energy industrial environments like mining, cement, water/wastewater, and oil & gas, even a single electrical fault can lead to: ⚡ Equipment damage ⚡ Lost production ⚡ Extended downtime ⚡ Serious safety risks So what does the test actually entail? Engineers intentionally create an internal arc within the equipment to verify that the design can withstand explosive forces and redirect the energy to a designated area, thereby keeping workers safe. 🎉 Congratulations to the Benshaw team for successfully completing testing to IEEE C37.20.7 for Arc-Resistant gear rated at 50 kA. #Benshaw #MotorControl #IndustrialSafety #ArcFlash #ElectricalSafety #MediumVoltage #Drives #Automation #IndustrialReliability #AppliedMotorControls

Happy Earth Day! 🌍 Here's something worth celebrating: every time a Benshaw drive or soft starter is installed, energy waste goes down. Motors account for nearly 70% of industrial electricity consumption. When they start hard and run uncontrolled, they pull more power than they need — every single cycle, every single day. Benshaw VFDs and soft starters change that. By controlling how motors start and run, they reduce energy draw, cut utility costs, and put less strain on the grid. Good for your operation. Good for the planet. #EarthDay #EnergyEfficiency #MotorControls #Sustainability #Drives #SoftStarters #Benshaw
