In the UK, electrocution accounts for 0.54 deaths in every 100,000 people per year. Generated electricity causes more than 90% of these deaths. Most low-voltage electrocutions occur in the home or workplace while a majority of high-voltage deaths happen at work.[1] Similarly, 1322 electricity-related workplace deaths befell the USA between 2011 and 2022. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 70% of these fatalities took place in non-electrically related occupations.[2] Evidently, the risks of even low-voltage electric shocks are too great to ignore, especially as they are not confined to electricity-centred professions. That is why the NHS has devised a comprehensive safety handbook. Chapter 5 of the handbook highlights the importance of electricity safety signs and posters. Read on to understand the critical role these signs have in mitigating electric shocks, burns, and fatalities in the National Health Service. Continue reading →

We are excited to announce Chauvin Arnoux has updated its range of F-Series Clamp Meters, making them suitable for testing photovoltaic/solar systems! These new models, the F402, F404, F406, F604, and F606, supersede Chauvin Arnoux’s F401, F403, F405, F603, and F605 Clamp Meters. To ensure suitability for testing photovoltaic/solar circuits, Chauvin Arnoux’s updated F-series Clamp Meters offer an extended voltage range: up to 1200V AC and 1700V DC. However, one thing that has not changed is the clamp meters’ ability to measure true inrush current regardless of whether a load is connected to a live or dead installation. In their application note, Chauvin Arnoux outlines why their innovative InRush® function is so important. Continue reading →
