Why use a Safety Enclosure for electrical testing?

Using a safety enclosure (or safety cage) is essential to protect operators and secure high-voltage electrical testing.

These enclosures are specifically designed for dielectric strength (HIPOT) tests and insulation resistance measurements, where electrical risks are significant.

Key Benefits

• Protect operators from electric shock hazards

• Ensure safe execution of high-voltage tests

• Integrate door interlock systems to prevent accidental access

• Include emergency stop functions for immediate shutdown

Safety cages provide a controlled environment to perform tests safely and in compliance with regulations.

How to choose the right Safety Enclosure?

Selecting the appropriate safety enclosure depends mainly on:

1. Size of the Device Under Test (DUT)

The enclosure must match the dimensions of the equipment being tested.

2. Standard or Custom options

• Optional features based on application needs
• Fully custom-designed enclosures for specific industrial constraints

Custom solutions ensure optimal ergonomics, usability, and safety integration.
