Now available from Martindale Electric – leaders in safe isolation – is the VI1500, part of the industry standard range of Voltage Indicators, extending safe isolation procedures into higher voltage applications
The VI1500 has a 1000V CATIV safety rating and LED indication for AC/DC voltages from 50V to 690V and above, ensuring compliance with health and safety recommendations for safe working in all BS EN61010 installation categories. It’s the simplest and most reliable way to ensure circuits have been de-energised and isolated prior to maintenance and modifications.
Based on the VI3800, the new CATIV design not only provides improved protection against voltage transients, but also includes a high wattage resistor that will limit the current in the event of damage to the cable in accordance with BS EN61243-3. The protection is built in where it’s needed, in the handheld probe assembly.
Fully compliant with HSE GS38 regulations, the VI1500 comes with heavy duty two layer double insulated leads and features bright LEDs to clearly identify the voltage present in five levels with thresholds of up to 690V. The indicator, which requires no batteries, will identify both AC and DC sources and show polarity.
The VI1500 is available on its own or as part of a kit containing everything needed for on-site working.
