Safety is everything. So, being sure the power is off before the electrical equipment is opened and start handling matters. But how can it be safe and be sure the circuit is de-energized? What if the only acceptable method is a complex testing process that potentially exposes the very danger that is intended to be avoided? Panduit introduces a new solution - absence of voltage testers (AVTs) - to prove that the power is off.
Panduit's Safety Business is focused on innovating groundbreaking new electrical safety technology that reduces risk, increase safety, and helps industry leaders achieve operational goals.
A hardwired voltage indicator does not solve the problem - light off does not necessarily mean no power. Indicators warn when the power is on, but no signal does not guarantee that a circuit is truly without power. No light could mean power is off, but it could also be due to a faulty indicator or installation problems. This uncertainty is why OSHA has never recognized permanently installed voltage indicators, relying instead on the handheld tester method. But that means being exposed to a known live circuit to prove that there is no voltage in the circuits. Panduit's VeriSafe 2.0 presents a solution, allowing the user to escape the process using the handheld tester.
Voltage PRESENCE Indication
Red LEDs indicate hazardous voltage present  | Lack of red LEDs does not guarantee voltage absence  |
ABSENCE of Voltage Testing
Push to initiate test and see progress  | Green indicates absence of voltage is confirmed  |
