.jpg) [Davenport, IA : November 15, 2006] – Designed to reduce arc flash risks and increase electrical safety by providing maintenance personnel a no-touch voltage portal on the outside of metallic electrical enclosures. The ChekVolt interface, installed on an electrical panel, allows maintenance personnel to use a non-contact voltage detector ‘pen’ to check line voltage before and after they open the main disconnect. The ability to pre-verify electrical isolation before opening a panel puts an additional safety measure between electricians and hazardous voltage. Maintenance people carry non-contact voltage detector ‘pens’ to quickly verify the presence of voltage in a conductor. These devices beep or flash in the presence of voltage. The ChekVolt simply extends the line voltage from the main disconnect (or other voltage source) through a wire into an encapsulated non-metallic assembly fastened to the enclosure exterior. For a low cost reliable installation, the single point ChekVolt R-1A has 6’ leads, mounts into a 0.50” (13mm) drilled hole, and can be ordered with a full line of bright yellow nameplates. Non-contact voltage detectors typically operate from 50/90-1000VAC, which allow users to apply ChekVolt to single or 3-phase AC power systems. Optional bright yellow nameplates remind personnel to pre-verify every voltage point before accessing the panel interior. Nameplates offered include; various power system graphics or generic single-phase/3-phase nameplates. ChekVolt is a UL listed 600V device and rated for use in Nema 4/4X/12 environment. For product information: http://www.grace-eng.com/VoltageVision/DS-R-3W.shtml ) Grace Engineered Products manufacturers GracePort Convenience Interfaces, that bring data port connections from the inside to the outside of control panels. Grace provides over 8000 different combinations of cables, connectors, and outlets in NEMA 1/12/4/4X, stainless steel, and Nema 7/9 housings. All ports are clearly marked as to their function. Orders are processed on a one-piece minimum with a typical 3-5 day delivery. |
