Designed for harsh environments, the PSE piezoelectric switch comes with a pre-assembled polyurethane cable to offer maximum flexibility and the highest IP protection during installation. The housings of the factory assembled piezoelectric PSE family are made of stainless steel 1.4462. This steel is characterised by its particularly high resistance to corrosion, which is essential in areas with high humidity. The PSE switches offer maximum reliability and a long service life (20 million actuations). Hermetically sealed housings make the PSE with cable predestined for use in particularly harsh and inhospitable applications.

Verifying Presence of Voltage with GracePESDs
By Nick Schiltz, Grace Technologies
It’s no secret that our Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) greatly assist with a more productive and safer Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure. But how and when each device is best suited for each step of the process may require some clarification. For starters, our GracePESDs voltage indicators are best suited for verifying the presence of voltage. This is visually represented by flashing or non-flashing LED lights from the device that is hardwired to the load side of an electrical feeder or disconnect switch.

Siemens' Tips for Panel Builders Series - Part 6: Determining the Overall SCCR of an Industrial Control Panel for UL
Machines, their control panels, and other types of electrical equipment must be designed and sized in accordance with their location of installation. This ensures protection against the damaging effects of a short-circuit in the electrical equipment.
In the US there is a legal requirement to determine the short-circuit current rating (SCCR) of an industrial control panel.
