Instant signal July 1st 2005 Irish electricity distributor ESB Networks has bought more than 250 EA Technology UltraTEV instruments as standard safety equipment for personnel involved in operating and inspecting high voltage equipment.
A single button push gives staff an immediate indication of whether switchgear and transformers are safe from a Partial Discharge perspective. If there is any dangerous discharge activity in the area, UltraTEV’s ultrasonic and transient earth voltage sensors provide an instant warning, enabling them to retreat to safety.
The company believes the device provides a vital safety tool for ESB Networks when operating older types of manually dependant switchgear. More articles from E A Technology Ltd: |
