viewsafeTM Base Unit

the safety assured maintenance aperture for live electrical switchgear

the viewsafeTM base unit is installed into electrical switchgear to provide secure access for live inspection, condition monitoring and maintenance.

designed for use with interchangeable viewsafeTM maintenance slides, the base unit supports thermal imaging, ultrasonic partial discharge inspection, visual inspection and CO2 emergency access while helping maintenance teams improve safety, data capture and inspection efficiency. 

Key features

Strength in functionality

Internal Arc Classification to 50kA for 1second at 11kV, supporting safer condition monitoring of live electrical switchgear.

Key lock access helps prevent unauthorised use and supports permit-to-work procedures for switchgear inspection and maintenance.

Inspect live electrical assets while helping reduce direct exposure between personnel and live equipment. 

Support more accurate condition monitoring data through thermal imaging, partial discharge inspection and visual inspection.

Regular condition monitoring helps identify developing faults earlier, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime and associated costs.

More information

Increased efficiency

The patented slide apparatus of the viewsafeTM base unit allows maintenance teams to use different viewsafeTM maintenance slides from one installed aperture. Each slide supports a specific inspection or maintenance task, helping improve efficiency, asset condition data and productivity while reducing the risk of unplanned downtime and unexpected costs.
