Electrical safety at the touch of a button

14 July 2022

Panduit's VeriSafe system minimises the risk of electrical hazards by confirming the control cabinet is voltage-free before access. Plant operators and machine builders can check whether an electrically safe environment is present much faster.

VeriSafe 2.0, automatically ensures that the entire test process is followed for every single test. With a push of a button, you can achieve tested safety in both 3-phase and 1-phase applications in the now extended voltage range up to 1000 V for AC and DC applications. The fail-safe design uses active indicators for plant status and complies with SIL 3 (IEC 61508-1) safety functions. According to the NEC, specified in NFPA 70E, an electrically safe environment must be ensured before working with electrical installations without voltage, and the measurement procedure is precisely defined.

VeriSafe 2.0 is ideal for 480/600V CAT IV applications including outdoor, service access and all power distribution equipment including frequency converters and remote motor disconnect switches. The now extended VeriSafe increases the possibilities to protect the entire electrical area. If desired, the isolation module can be easily integrated into control systems via redundant semiconductor signal outputs (SIL 3). In addition, a network module for real-time diagnostics and performance reports is available.
