DENTON, Texas, Oct. 2, 2025 -- CBS ArcSafe®, a leading manufacturer of remote racking and switching solutions for low- and medium-voltage switchgear, has launched the RSK-PMT-GW. This remote switch kit (RSK) allows technicians to remotely operate G&W SF6 insulated switchgear from up to 300 feet away while remaining outside the arc flash boundary.
The RSK-PMT-GW is compatible with G&W 15–38 kV SF6 insulated switchgear using up to six-position Rotary Puffer switches, without any modifications to electrical equipment needed. It engages with existing studs and secures with a simple latch to ensure quick installation and removal. At 20 pounds, the unit is portable enough for transport between job sites or hard-to-access locations.
The kit includes an actuator specifically designed to operate G&W Rotary Puffer switches. The kit also contains the RSO-IV-M18 with radio remote and torque-limiting control via a current-control module. This system can rotate to any of six points on the G&W switch.

Powered by Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM ion battery packs, the RSK-PMT-GW delivers reliable and consistent performance for hundreds of operations. The design eliminates manual contact with gear during switching operations to reduce the risk of arc flash injuries during maintenance.
With a power consumption of 200 W and operational range extending up to 300 feet, the RSK-PMT-GW provides flexibility for various facility layouts and safety protocols. The device's compatibility across the entire G&W SF6 product line further allows facilities to standardize their remote switching procedures with a single solution.
