Safety

In our work, safety is vitally important, especially when working in the distribution network. Voltage is everywhere and we need to make sure that it is de-energised and safe to be present and to work. It goes without saying that the regulations in force determine locally which working method is necessary for your and our safety in each situation.

Voltage-free

Voltage-free

To determine whether your situation is voltage-free, we have a large number of variants of voltage indicators, testers for both direct voltage DC and alternating voltage AC. It obviously also depends which installation or condition is tested, for which we offer a variant of our well-known KP-TEST5. Continuous voltage indicators can be realised for the switch or transformer of any project to allow remote reading and monitoring.

Phase comparisons

In order to gain insight into the different phases, single pole phase comparators are available. We also offer a system that allows the phases to be read continuously.

Earthing and short circuiting
Innovation- ShortCircuitRing®

Innovation- ShortCircuitRing®

Due to the situation with feed-in to the low-voltage grid, a circumstance has arisen in which no single-sided earthing or switching off is safe anymore in the installation pit; a feed-in via a home or office can take place at any time due to the available solar panels or energy storage. In cooperation with our partners, Batenburg Energietechniek has developed the ShortCircuitRing® (Short Circuit Ring), which was tested according to the standard and is now “patent pending”. When used in the installation trench, the ShortCircuitRing® will provide a visible, safe short-circuit safety device ensuring work can be performed safely. See YouTube for more information or ask for a demonstration in your own installation trench.
