As the world transitions to electric mobility, safety concerns are paramount. Electric vehicles have battery packs with voltage levels between 500 V and 1000 V, which can pose a significant risk of electric shock from short circuits in live components. With Bloomberg estimating that by 2025, 10 million EV cars will have been sold worldwide, safety should be top priority.
Making E-mobility safer
That's why Atlas Copco, a leading provider of industrial tools and equipment, has developed an innovative solution to help ensure the safety of workers in a variety of industries. Insulated sockets are a game-changing tool that provide both safety and efficiency in the workplace.

The Benefits of Insulated Sockets: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency while working with live components
The design of the insulated sockets is well-thought-out and consists of a non-conductive composite and a two-part shell structure that can be easily assemble to the electric tool. An additional rubber ring and front cap effectively insulate and protect tools used in the assembly process, preventing short-circuits caused by accidental contact between the metal angle head and live components.
The insulated sockets are designed to prevent direct contact with live components and short circuits with grounded tools and batteries. They provide isolation in both axial and radial directions, ensuring maximum process and user safety. By preventing short-circuits, high electrical currents, electric arcs, and exploding batteries, the insulated sockets make working on electrical equipment much safer.
Atlas Copco's insulated sockets are suitable for use in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics, among others. They are particularly useful in industries where electrical work is done on live systems or where high voltages are present.
This innovative solution will provide both safety and efficiency in the workplace. By preventing electrical shorts, high currents, and electric arcs, insulated sockets help ensure a safe working environment, increase productivity and reduce downtime, making them an excellent investment for any industry where electrical work is performed.
If you're looking for a safer and more efficient way to work with electricity, insulated sockets from Atlas Copco are an excellent solution.
