    September 18, 2014
    McCain’s low voltage advanced traffic control (ATC) cabinet features high-density components powered by direct current to promote energy efficiency and safety. With inherently reduced voltage of 50 volts, the DC components reduce the risk of accidental shock or electrocution and the effects of short circuiting. The resulting cabinet is safer to operate and maintain, and compliant with the US National Electrical Code’s standards on inadvertent contact with live or arcing parts.
