ISOLATION SOLUTIONS Martindale Electric has supplied Worcester, Bosch Group with VIPD138 safe isolation kits which contain the industry leading VI- 13800 voltage indicator and the PD440 proving unit.
The VI-13800 allows Worcester, Bosch Group engineers to prove the installations they are working on in the field are dead, and avoid potentially hazardous live voltages.
Worcester, Bosch Group, a pioneer in manufacturing oil and gas boilers since 1962 also leads the way with initiatives and technologies that are energy efficient and has a strong presence in the UK and globally, as part of the Bosch Group. They wanted to increase each engineer’s safety in the field with a reliable solution that was easy to use and complied with the latest health and safety regulations for safe working. After researching the market, Worcester, Bosch Group concluded that the most suitable product was the VIPD138 kit from Martindale Electric.
Nothing is more dangerous than failing to identify a live circuit due to a defective voltage indicator. Safe electrical work requires the use of a voltage indicator that has been proved with a proving unit before and after use. The VIPD138 contains the VI-13800 voltage indicator and the PD440 proving unit together with a carry case for storing both units.
from single service contracts to total facilities management packages and FM providers need to be ever more competitive and innovative.”
MCS’s integrated myMCS CAFM software is specifically designed to support the FM industry by providing transparency into FM operating costs and performance, enabling CRE and FM executives to predict issues before they arise and make better- informed decisions.

Martin Andrews, Field Service Support Engineer at Worcester, Bosch Group who conducted the research and completed the purchase, said: “Martindale has been very efficient and we are very pleased with our purchase; our engineers can do their jobs easier and feel safer”. The fulfilment for the purchase was done through their local supplier which allowed for a timely delivery of the VIPD138 kits.
