COVER STORY P


14. Designing data centres for the new AI era


anduit’s Cover Story this month delves into how the VeriSafe 2.0 AVT system streamlines electrical safety checks, allowing engineers to


confirm absence of voltage in seconds. This fail-safe solution reduces downtime, enhances safety and simplifies compliance with NFPA 70E standards. Its advanced diagnostics, remotemonitoring and SIL 3 compliance make it ideal for critical power applications. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the


system improves reliability by eliminating human error in voltage verification. It integrates easily into control and SCADA systems via EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP, offering real-time diagnostics, performance reports and data logging. VeriSafe 2.0 protects personnel, reduces costs and boosts operational efficiency.
