Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides guidelines and recommendations for ensuring compliance of medium voltage (MV) distribution substations with safety and operational standards. It outlines the necessary equipment and procedures for risk prevention, fire safety, signage, and emergency lighting.
1. Operating and Safety Equipment:
  • Employers must define the conditions for the implementation, selection, and maintenance of personal protective equipment based on risk assessments.
  • Essential equipment includes safety sticks, insulating mats or platforms, insulating gloves, and voltage detectors.
  • Equipment must be chosen according to the maximum voltage of the installation and inspected annually or as per manufacturer instructions.
2. Fire Extinguishing Equipment:
  • Fire extinguishers suitable for electrical fires must be available, labeled with voltage limitations.
3. Display and Signage:
  • Interior signage should include diagrams, first aid instructions, and emergency contact information.
  • Exterior signage must be placed on access doors and include warning signs and operational instructions.
4. Emergency Lighting:
  • Substations must have fixed emergency lighting and at least one portable intervention light.
5. Substation Equipment:
  • Includes intervention equipment kits with insulating gloves, platforms, mats, and rescue sticks.
  • Regular checks on insulating gloves are recommended every six months.
6. Medium Voltage Detectors:
  • Voltage detectors are specified for use in MV substations, with options for fixed and telescopic sticks.
7. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
  • Includes helmets with face shields, multi-risk protective garments, and safety shoes.
  • Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) devices are recommended for isolating equipment.
8. Earthing and Short-Circuiting Equipment:
  • Equipment for direct installation on bare conductors is detailed, including earthing clamps and cables.
9. Additional Equipment:
  • Includes storage cabinets, safety lamps, and fire kits for comprehensive safety management.
10. Compliance and Replacement:
