Panduit VeriSafe absence-of-voltage tester

Panduit has released its VeriSafe absence-of-voltage tester in the Asia–Pacific market.

Current procedures for verifying the safe use of electrical panels are subject to human error and time-consuming. It is also necessary for an operator wearing a protective suit to first open a panel in an unknown state in order to test it, placing workers at risk of injury or death. While voltage indicators can confirm certain known states where an electrical panel is known not to be safe, they do not confirm that a panel is certainly safe from hazards such as residual current.

Panduit’s approach to electrical safety with VeriSafe replaces the manual process of verifying an electrically safe environment by permanently installing an automated tester on the panel door. This minimises the risk of workers being exposed to electrical hazards by verifying the absence of voltage even before the equipment is accessed. It also provides workers with a firm confirmation that the panel is safe, as opposed to knowing that common but not all dangers have been tested for.

VeriSafe ensures the entire process of verifying absence of voltage is performed in the proper sequence — every time, every test. At the same time, the failsafe process performed by the product tests the tester itself, verifies installation, checks for voltage, verifies installation and retests the tester. All this is automatically performed at the push of a button in sequence — with no human risk of exposure to electrical hazards.
