Electric vehicle (EV) assembly is not just a trend, but a major shift in the automotive industry. However, this shift has brought new challenges. As our customers continue to work with the live currents involved in EV assembly, safety needs to be a priority, ensuring precautions are taken to protect operators, equipment, and customer assets.
One of our customers encountered accessibility and isolation challenges in their application, prompting their search for a supplier offering insulated tool covers and isolated sockets, meeting a 1000V rating requirement on each socket. This proved difficult as they struggled to find a supplier that could meet their requirements while remaining easily accessible. Read on to discover why our Isolated Solutions stood out against the competition.
Introducing Atlas Copco’s Isolated Solution
The risk of electric shocks from short circuits in live components is very real, so our solutions have been developed to prevent direct contact with high electrical currents. In addition, all Atlas Copco Isolated Sockets and Insulated Tool Covers have undergone thorough testing to ensure they:
- Protect operators working on applications with live currents
- Prevent tools from short-circuiting
- Protect customer assets from a potential thermal event
All Saltus isolated sockets and QCAs are marked according to the standard IEC 60900 with double triangle, IEC 60900, and 1000V. In addition, our isolated sockets and insulated tool covers offer higher quality and a more compact design than other solutions on the market.
Expert support
Our solution was superior to the competition in meeting the assembly requirements and accessibility issues our customer faced. However, we soon realized that the customer needed more in-depth support from the design and engineering team. Therefore, we continued discussions with our customer to review their application, ensuring that we could provide them with the ideal solution that best fit their needs. After discussing their requirements and specifications further, our customer and our experts were confident in the solutions and custom designs we provided.
