Safety Solutions Sharing
BEFORE:
We have set high standards in 2019 when it
comes to Safety at Schneider Electric.
Having in mind our zero injuries goal and
the permanent concern for the safety of all
our employees, this year already started
with big enhancements: we have updated
most of our Safety Directives and Guidance
Documents.
Test bench was running 8 to 10 hrs/Per day
In case of failure time ,money & property will
loss to organization

SESA ID: 450545
Region : Team leader
AFTER:
Safe, Smart, Innovative Solutions
Soft ware protection Monitoring will ensure
current ,voltage, timing & SMS notification.
Electrical protection will endure over
current, leakage current & thermal.
Mechanical Protection will ensure
Biometrics, inter lock, smoke dedicator,
tripping devices.
Test bench will run 24X7hrs with all safety
Increased testing efficiency of 60%

Implementation Steps:
• Test process includes safety interlock to
isolate employee from electrical conductors
• The concern is failure of the mechanical
interlock which could expose employees to live
voltage
• The solution is external verification of Zero
Energy State prior to connecting/disconnecting
electrical test leads on units
For 90 % of equipment's installed Safety kit in
GIGA lab
Resources/Costs:
80000 thousand INR per kit.
Implemented by GIGA lab Bangalore .
Value added
1. It can detect heat changes in test benches
bus couplers and other Devices.
2. If smoke is detected in test benches it will
generate alarm and turn it off.
