Panduit: Improved VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester

The new VeriSafe 2.0 Absence of Voltage Tester (AVT) leverages the same test in the existing Verisafe AVT, but with many new features and expanded applications. With the push of a button, workers can quickly determine voltage status and see an active indication when the absence of voltage is confirmed. The automated test minimizes risk by verifying the absence of voltage before equipment is accessed, making it easier for workers to verify an electrically safe work condition.

How GFCIs Empower Panel Builders to Protect Against Electrical Shock and Save Lives

With power, comes great responsibility. A panel builder who can effectively integrate ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) into a system can make the difference between life and death. Ground-fault circuit protection is one of the most effective preventative measures against electrical shock because it actively reacts to irregular electrical conditions, regardless of a worker’s qualifications or use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

STEGO: CSS 014 Smart Sensor

You can’t make the right decisions without the right data. If you’re manually measuring temperature and humidity in your enclosures, you’re constantly working with old data. Rapid changes and extreme environments can cause critical electronic components to fail. You need near real-time data if you want to make decisions quickly and avoid system downtime. The CSS 014 Smart Sensor and STEGO Connect put data at your fingertips remotely, in near real-time.

AutomationDirect: Phase and Voltage Monitoring Relays

AutomationDirect has added new phase and voltage monitoring relays from ProSense. The PMRU-2C series true RMS phase monitor relays protect 3-phase equipment from damage that can occur when there is a phase loss, phase reversal, phase unbalance, undervoltage, or overvoltage condition. These relays are designed to provide protection for most generator systems and applications that use non-sinusoidal waveforms.
