Exploring Panduits Permanently Mounted Voltage Testing Products as they Apply to CSA-Z462

EIN Panduit voltage 400

Jan 15, 2021

CSA standards regulate the safety of applicable electrical products. The organization publishes CSA-Z462, the Workplace Electrical Safety Standard. Many companies use CSA-Z462 when they are developing their electrical safety program.  Because CSA-Z462 is regularly updated, it incorporates new technology and practices that may not yet be noted in regulations or other standards.

One area where technology has been incorporated to stimulate innovative solutions is absence of voltage testing. The Absence of Voltage Tester (AVT), is a permanently mounted solution that makes testing for an absence of voltage safer and more efficient.

There are a variety of different electrical safety products that are permanently mounted, each with different functionality and limitations. They all have different purposes and should not be discussed interchangeably. Three common types of permanently mounted products are Voltage Indicators, Test Portals, and Absence of Voltage Testers.

HERE you will find a whitepaper from Panduit on Voltage Indicators, Test Portals, and Absence of Voltage Testers
