Safety when working under voltage

When working on live connections, people’s safety always comes first. Our products have been developed to avoid electric shock and fires in the control cabinet. To achieve this, safety regulations and procedures must be followed, such as, for example, using personal protective equipment (PPE). We have gone one step further with our products and developed measures that go above and beyond the general requirements.

Some examples include:

  • Loss-proof and “infinitely” rotatable TX25 terminal screws to protect against being fully unscrewed
  • Certified torque tools with insulated bit inserts and calibration certificate (VDE)
  • Snap-in bridging plug with “click” lock and two-handed operation
  • Sealable cover for meter plates without meter, as protection against incorrect operation
  • Protection against contact and reverse polarity
  • Glow wire tested up to 960 °C

Our products are also extensively tested by independent, accredited testing facilities.

8 services our customers appreciate

UEW replacement
Bridging connectors must be checked annually

UEW replacement

The bridging tools protect engineers when changing meters. Tools should be checked once they have been plugged in approx. 1,000 times. You can do this by measuring the contact springs and performing a visual check yourself.
A worn bridging tool cannot be repaired. However, you can order a new bridging plug from us at list price, then return the used one to us to receive a credit of EUR 40.
If you have any questions, please contact our sales team directly at sales@seidlgroup.com.

Pinning
It saves time – a pre-pinned meter connection clamp

Pinning

Using pre-assembled pins saves you time and slashes the probability of errors during commissioning to zero. Installation safety is also increased because we test the assembly of the pins here in our factory.

Sampling
Free of charge and on site

Sampling

Do you have an energy meter (smart meter) and want a suitable system for it? We check whether your meter is compatible with our system free of charge. On request, we can also have this tested by an accredited tester.

System configuration
Compatibility check of the various components

System configuration

The system requirements vary depending on the market and user. Send us an email to andreas.hollerer@seidlgroup.com with the following information: smart meter manufacturer, smart meter series, country and amperage

Accredited check
Sure to be recognised

Accredited check

The accreditation procedure includes a precise inspection, a thorough check and a responsible evaluation. We check your components using our system. Given the complexity, it is often recommended to consider having a check carried out by a third party, in order to ensure a high degree of confidence and to convey a feeling of safety.

Tool configuration
Installation kits for individual requirements

Tool configuration

To ensure smooth installation on the construction site or in the workshop, the right tools must always be to hand. We offer the right equipment for every application, with pre-defined tool sets or customised sets to precisely meet your requirements.
Send your enquiry, quoting the quantity of articles required, to sales@seidlgroup.com. We would be pleased to advise you and prepare an offer that precisely meets your needs.
