Grace's Business Development Team, Chris Schneck and Nick Augustine, sat down with Engineering Team Lead, Eric Norton, to discuss how the ChekVolt was Engineered and produced with safety by design.

Performing Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) safely requires the answer to one question; is there voltage? NFPA 70E/CSAZ462 requires an absence of voltage test to verify an electrically safe work condition. The traditional process poses arc flash and shock hazards to comply with NFPA 70E Article 120.5: Process for Establishing and Verifying an Electrically Safe Work Condition.

The ChekVolt® allows you to test absence of voltage and provides voltage presence indication; all without opening the enclosure door. Permanent Electrical Safety Device (PESD) users report LOTO procedure time reductions of 35-40 minutes. ChekVolt® pays for itself after 6-8 LOTO procedures from time savings alone.

This touch-safe, compact PESD features voltmeter-compatible test points and redundant LED voltage presence indication rated up to 1000 VAC/VDC. The ChekVolt® is quickly installed through a single 30mm knockout and includes four lead wires potted in the construction–making LOTO in even the harshest environments safer, smarter, and more productive.
