These are products that permit maintenance tasks to be completed whilst switchgear remains closed and in a safe and guarded condition. They help asset managers identify faults in energised systems before they become failures and do so without exposing the maintenance engineer to danger.

IRISS has chosen Maintec 2014 as the EMEA launch platform for a brand new range of PESD products for use in busbar systems. These are large format infrared and visual inspection windows that allow a complete visual and infrared scan of busbar joints under load and also act as access ports for repairs.

Another new development is the option to include temperature measurement within the PESD product.  This allows the difference between ambient and the temperature inside the cabinet to be measured, also known as Delta T.
