Isolation indicator

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

According to Reece Safety Products it’s easy to find modern isolation systems where a live feed will remain in place despite the original energy source being isolated.

To eliminate this issue, Remlive has created a unique isolation indicator. This equipment, supplied by Reece Safety, clearly shows a safe state before the panel is even opened, so rendering the risk of shock as zero. The basic principle of the operation is that when the power supply is in the “ON” state, the LED display on the face and will be illuminated in a flashing manner to attract attention. These LED’s remain operational until all voltage has decayed to less than 24v on all connections including neutral. If the neutral floats back above this, even when the phase lines are correctly isolated, the unit will indicate the presence of a potentially dangerous voltage to earth.
