A new strategic partnership with Transmag UK will position A&T Enclosures as the only enclosure manufacturer in the UK able to supply fully integrated arc flash detection, protection, and mitigation systems developed jointly with Transmag.
The announcement comes as the electrical industry adapts to significant updates within IEC 60947-9-2, incorporating instruction on the integration of arc flash detection and protection technology in all new switchboard and control panel designs
Together, A&T Enclosures and Transmag have embraced this shift, introducing a new generation of enclosures that seamlessly combine Transmag’s world-class arc flash technologies with A&T’s engineering, design, and manufacturing expertise. The result is a fully integrated platform delivering safety, performance, and compliance at the highest level.
A Fully Integrated Intelligent Safety Platform
The partnership enables A&T Enclosures to offer a comprehensive suite of advanced safety, monitoring, and control features, all engineered into a single enclosure solution. These include:
- Arc Flash Detection, Protection & Mitigation
- Humidity & Water-Ingress Monitoring
- Thermographic & Ambient Temperature Monitoring
- Partial Discharge Initiation Alerts
- Unauthorised Access Detection
- Integrated Internal & External Cameras
- Event Logging & System Archive Recording
- Fire Alarm / Suppression Triggers
- No-Vision Smoke Detection
- Automated SMS / Email Alerts
- QR Code Access to Standard Operating Procedures
- Incident Energy Signage (<8 cal/cm²) with PPE Guidance
- Access Compliance Management for AP/SAP Personnel via QR Verification
This makes A&T Enclosures the first UK manufacturer to deliver a fully unified intelligent enclosure platform, designed, built, and configured in-house using certified Transmag technology.
Advanced Arc Flash Protection — Three Levels of Defence
All new A&T Enclosures control panels and switchboards are designed to comply with IEC 60947-9-2 and are available with three escalating levels of protection:
- Standard Arc Flash Protection
- Arc Flash Relay Protection
- Arc Flash Relay + Quencher Protection
Laboratory-tested systems demonstrate arc event detection and response in less than one-third of a second, dramatically faster than traditional protection methods, significantly reducing equipment damage, risk to personnel, and downtime.
Retrofit & Upgrade Solutions for Existing Installations
Both companies also offer rapid retrofit solutions to bring existing equipment up to modern standards.
Transmag’s Arc Guardian Retrofit Panels, integrated into A&T’s engineered retrofit enclosures, can typically be installed and commissioned in under one hour.
Key retrofit advantages include:
- Enhanced operator safety
- Reduced collateral damage during incidents
- Accurate incident energy calculations
- Lower PPE requirements (as low as <1.2 cal/cm² optional)
- Ultra-fast reaction (~0.002 seconds + breaker time)
- Automatic reset after fault clearance
- Full compliance with IEC 60947-9-2
Free design consultations are available for all upgrade projects.
