Reducing Fire Threat with the CLiP® Current Limiting Protector

In this short video, G&W Electric Global Product Manager Jimmy Bou explains how protection speed affects wildfire risk and why current limiting protection can significantly reduce fault energy.

Faster protection reduces the amount of energy released during a fault event, helping limit sparks, arc flash energy and potential ignition sources.

See how traditional breakers, reactors and current limiting protection differ in the amount of fault energy (I²t) allowed to pass through the system.

CLiP® technology limits both fault current magnitude and duration, dramatically reducing fault energy let-through and helping utilities lower fire risk while protecting equipment.
