are defined as external

devices (except Medium Voltage Indicators, which are internal) permanently

mounted to electrical systems that, directly or indirectly, reduce the risk of arc

flash and/or shock hazard. They provide feedback on the voltage state within

the enclosure and eliminate proximate exposure to that

same voltage. Some examples of PESDs include voltage

portals and voltage indicators.

Flashing or non-flashing device that

monitors both AC and DC voltage. They are externally

mounted and give a visual indication outside the panel to

the presence or absence of voltage. Voltage indicators

are available in Class 1 Div 2, solid-on LEDs, Fiber Optic,

and medium voltage from 2KV to 43KV.

PESDs and NFPA 70E

The NFPA 70E states that the following principles are foundational to ensuring a zero energy state:

?Locate all sources of electrical energy.

Physically contact voltage detector to the electrical energy.

Test between each phase and phase to ground.

Verify voltage detector before and after use.

Please note:

NFPA 70 References: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

installed will locate each source.

Voltage indicators are hardwired to the source.

Voltage indicators check voltage between phase-phase-ground.

A non-contact voltage detector (NCVD) can be verified before and after use.

Employers are responsible to train employees in selecting and properly using a voltage detector. It is also the

responsibility of employers to provide a written lock-out/tag-out procedure and train employees on those procedures. Follow

manufacturer’s instructions when using a non-contact voltage detector. All other safety procedures apply.

More on Voltage Indicators

SafeSide™ v

While performing electrical LOTO with a SafeSide™

voltage indicator installed, the electrician can pre-check the internal voltage state without opening the enclosure.

Keeping personnel away from live voltage is foundational to electrical

safety. Electrical safety demands a precise answer to the question ‘Is voltage present?’. SafeSide™ voltage

indicators provide visibility of voltage from outside the enclosure without exposing personnel to voltage.

Workers performing mechanical LOTO must isolate electrical

energy. Without a SafeSide™ voltage indicator, a mechanic performing mechanical LOTO would be required to

work in tandem with an electrician using a voltmeter to physically verify voltage inside an electrical panel. In this case, the electrician is

exposed to voltage, but with SafeSide™ voltage indicator, the mechanic can verify zero electrical energy without any exposure to

voltage.

oltage indicators help keep workers safe during lock-out/tag-out by giving them valuable information about the state of

voltage within the panel. Here are some key benefits and features about voltage indicators:

Optical Cable Voltage Indicator

The R-3F optical cable voltage indicator is a permanent electrical safety device (PESD) built to keep workers on the safe

side of electrical panels by providing them with a no-voltage-at-the-door option when it comes to thru-door electrical safety. Global

electrical designs specify panel-mount devices that operate at low voltage levels; the R-3F provides

voltage indication with zero voltage on the outside of the panel.

The R-3F uses an optical cable bundle to illuminate the LEDs on a thru-panel adaptor mounted to the

outside of an electrical enclosure. The optical cable bundle allows users to see the voltage status of L1,

L2, L3 and GRD with the energized conductors safely kept away from the enclosure exterior.

The potted R-3F LED base unit with integral lead wires and flexible mounting options allow users to

reliably locate it close to 3-phase voltage sources. The availability of different cable lengths lets users

mount the fiber optic thru-panel adaptor at the best location on the enclosure.

More on Voltage Portals

SafeSide™ voltage portals avoids voltage exposure for workers by extending the voltage source points to the outside of electrical

enclosures. Each voltage point resides in an encapsulated non-conductive housing designed to insure that a NCVD senses voltage if

placed into the voltage portal. Because voltage portals contain live voltage and mount on the outside of enclosures, a robust design

and UL certification avoids any long term safety concerns. Here are some key benefits and features

about voltage indicators:

While performing electrical LOTO with a

SafeSide™ voltage portal installed, the electrician can pre-check the internal voltage state without

opening the enclosure.

Keeping personnel away from live voltage is foundational to

electrical safety. Electrical safety demands a precise answer to the question ‘Is voltage present?’.

SafeSide™ voltage portal provide visibility of voltage from outside the enclosure without exposing

personnel to voltage.

Workers performing mechanical LOTO must isolate

would be required to work in tandem with an electrician using a voltmeter to physically verify voltage

inside an electrical panel. In this case, the electrician is exposed to voltage, but with SafeSide™ voltage indicator, the mechanic can

verify zero electrical energy without any exposure to voltage.

Medium Voltage Indicator

The R-1VH/R-1VL Medium Voltage Indicator mounts to a medium voltage bus and flashes when voltage

is present on the bus. This product is designed to provide sufficient illumination to be easily seen

through IR or viewing windows on a medium voltage starter, transformer, switchgear and other power

distribution equipment.

The R-1VH/R-1VL is built for long life and reliability with solid-state LEDs and flame-rated

material. Because the R-1VH/R-1VL capacitively couples to ground, it provides high surge immunity

and has electrical-installation integrity.

Combo Units

SafeSide™ Combo Units combine two complementary technologies – voltage indicators and

voltage portals. When used together, the Combo Units meet the validation requirement of

NFPA 70E 120.1. Voltage indicators and voltage portals are a great match because their

features compliment each other. Here's how:

the SafeSide™ voltage indicator is the primary voltage testing instrument because it

provides the hardwired connection to the voltage source as required by NFPA 70E 120.1(5).

the SafeSide™voltage portal (and the non-contact voltage detector pen) becomes the

testing device for the voltage indicator.

both devices can be checked before a LOTO procedure while the control panel is energized

to ensure proper operation.

the traditional method of validating the voltage indicator to an independent voltage source is

met with the NCVD/voltage portal combination (as seen in Figure 1).
