Hello,
Has anyone ever seen or used an Arc Terminator or similar device (crowbar) in a switchgear lineup for arc flash/blast mitigation? I'm trying to see how prevalent the usage of these devices are, and if anyone think they will become more widely used.

Where do people think the arc flash mitigation market is going? Just using faster clearing devices? Zone selective interlocking? Some method I've never heard of?

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks for your time.
