High Voltage Electrical Safety

LV MV HV

Electrical Safety Equipment

Medium & High Voltages

T&D distribute the most extensive range of High Voltage Electrical Safety equipment to ensure safe working and protection against electrocution during the installation, jointing, terminating and testing of medium/high voltage power cables and electrical equipment including switchgear and transformers.

A complete range of HV instruments including voltage detectors, phase comparators, short circuiting portable earthing and substation electrical safety equipment used for maintenance and repair of cables, connectors and terminations of transmission or distribution cables, power lines and switchgear in high voltage substations.

Electrical Safety Kits | CATU CZ range of substation life saving kits are used in the event of an electrical incident or accident in MV-HV substations – suitable for electrical intervention in 11kV 25kV 33kV medium and high voltage substations and for assisting victims in the event of an electrical hazard or electrocution.

Electrical Insulating Matting | rubber insulating switchboard mats provide electrical protection for individual and collective protection for workers involved on electrical installations for voltages of 415V, 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 15kV, 20kV and 33kV – Class 0 to Class 4 mats in accordance with IEC61111 are generally used in conjunction with additional PPE such as insulating gloves for worker safety.

Insulating Gloves For Live Working & HV High Voltages

Where utility workers are required to work on or in close proximity to Live LV conductors insulating gloves according to Class 1 (7.5kV) BS EN 60903 standard are generally specified for electrical safety and protection – gloves should not be the sole level of protection for working on Live LV cables or conductors.

Class 1 gloves are issued to cable jointers and substation personnel required to operate air-break switch disconnector handles or link and fuse operating rods on the HV Electrical System – it is recommended that a leather protective outer glove should be used while operating on the HV System to prevent premature damage to the insulating glove. Gloves should be replaced before re-testing is required.

Electrical Insulating Gloves | rubber insulating gloves provide hand safety and protection in 6 specific voltage classes (Class 00 – Class 4) for LV MV HV applications and tasks.

Low Voltage LV Switchrooms

To enable the inspection, testing and commissioning of all Low Voltage electrical equipment and power systems – this includes electrical insulating matting for use in front of LV switchgear, insulating rubber gloves (Class 0) and wall mounted life saving kits.
