Surgetek manufactures all its earthing and short-circuiting devices locally and each order is designed for individual customer requirements. These devices ensure the safety of personnel working on electrical systems.
The earthing and short-circuiting devices protect personnel from induced voltages, atmospheric surges or accidental reconnection of the supply voltage while working on low, medium and high voltage electrical systems. The devices are rated in accordance with SANS 1934 to withstand full system fault current conditions for the total duration of the fault.
They are designed for a wide range of applications, including overhead lines, switchgear systems and LV distribution systems. Tested to simulate the worst possible conditions, the earthing and short circuiting devices comply with the electrical, mechanical and humidity penetration requirements of SANS 61230.
Surgetek’s single-pole and three-pole earthing and short circuiting devices, tubular busbar clamps, phase clamps, earth clamps, fixed phase and earth connection points and various accessories provide the perfect solution to all earthing and short circuiting requirements.
