• Flexible applications – Power distribution, motor control and automation, data centre, industrial and commercial facilities and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The highly visible and large clear externally mounted test unit, normally positioned on the equipment cabinet door, is easy to use and follows a high effective process: What happens during the test?
1. The system confirms power is available to perform the test
2. Checks health of key circuit elements 3. Verifies threshold circuits in tolerance 4. Checks on known voltage source 5. Verifies connectivity 6. Verifies threshold is under 3V
VeriSafe 2.0 is ideal for 480/600V CAT IV applications including outdoor, service access and all power distribution equipment including frequency converters and remote motor disconnect switches. The extended VeriSafe increases the possibilities to protect the entire electrical area. If desired, the isolation module can be easily integrated into control systems via redundant
semiconductor signal outputs (SIL 3). In addition, a network module for real-time diagnostics and performance reports is available. Thus, test results can be recorded with time stamps or data logs, or it can also be used for remote troubleshooting, monitoring the status of sensor lines as well as
battery life or temperature development. Via the EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP connection, VeriSafe 2.0 can be easily integrated into Scada systems, for example, or the integrated web server can be used.
The test system can be easily mounted and integrated into EMC-compliant superstructures. The background to Panduit’s development is that hazards and risks in switchgear for people, production and buildings must be avoided at all costs. Plant manufacturers must guarantee their design and compliance with standards, electrical safety, fire protection and mechanical safety. The crucial basis is the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC is comparable to VDE 0100 or IEC 60364 and is published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) under the working title NFPA 70E.
