Safe Connect switchboard hot spot detection

Safe Connect Australia-New Zealand has released colour change clips that display and remain bright pink the moment any cable or connection becomes hot, proving a cost-effective way to permanently monitor electrical connections and components.

The simple push-on application makes it easy to retrofit to existing electrical installations or include in new projects. Unlike expensive thermal imaging, which provides a snapshot of current operating loads, the permanent colour change when a cable reaches 71°C provides an indication of all hot spot events, regardless of when they occurred.

Available in various sizes to fit all types of cables, the clips attach to the cable insulation and create no interference with electrical connections.
