Sofamel has announced the release of their new SCF/OPT-460W and SCF/OPT-600W solar optimizers. These devices are very important when using photovoltaic energy systems. Some of their key benefits include: Improved overall system performance Solar optimizers allow energy production to be maximized at the individual panel level. This means that even if any panels are affected by shade or underperforming as the result of dirt or damage, the overall system performance is not significantly affe...
Sofamel recently in collaboration with the Elektra Catalunya Group, organized a technical workshop dealing with electrical risks in the railway industry. Representatives from different companies in the sector, such as Alstom, Talgo, and TMB, were present at the event. The workshop looked at: the importance of following the 5 golden rules to ensure an installation is de-energized; the use and quality of PPE; and Sofamel’s solutions for the railway sector, including special portable earthin...
Sofamel introduces the best option for working on hard-to-access lines. It allows climbing up and down easily on circular fiberglass, steel, and cement poles with electrical infrastructure and telephone facilities. AIRCLIMB is specially designed to climb poles with obstacles like telecom cables and others. It also can be used in poles made of other materials as long as the user checks whether the adherence is correct and safe.
The new smart personal detector kit can save lives. The detectors recognize live sources and warn operators, before they are in danger of electrocution. D-Tueri is a 360° omnidirectional electric field detector that can be easily attached to the inside or outside of a helmet. It includes a torch for night work. D-Watch is a wrist-worn detector for use in distribution centers and confined spaces. Its unique design and functions provide complete safety and peace of mind for workers. Completel...
A new generation of touch voltage detectors with a built-in lamp. Acquisition system with high-speed data processing microcontroller. Providing maximum reliability in areas where there are complex electrical fields. Lamp in the top part with high-brightness, low-consumption LEDs, for use in dark places Lamp use is independent of the detection Voltage present indicator using multiple high-brightness red LEDs over 360° and buzzer-type intermittent acoustic signal Absence of voltage indic...
It is of vital importance that operators make use of the pertinent personal protective equipment in perfect conditions to prevent electrocution, burns due to contact or electric arc, and even death. Dielectric gloves are an essential personal protective element that protects workers from a possible electric shock during direct or indirect contact with a live point. Personal protective element Dielectric gloves are used for performing tasks involving low and medium-voltage electric lines...
SPECTRA is a compact electronic detector that detects voltage by direct contact. It indicates to the operator whether there is an electric field and guarantees that the work area is safe at all times. It indicates the presence of voltage by means of LED lamps while also emitting an intermittent acoustic signal. It can be used indoors thanks to the integrated insulating telescopic pole and outdoor in a dry environment. It works with two AAA batteries. Compact electronic detector Technical Spec...
Sofamel has announced the release of the PV0/6 Voltametric Poles for Low and MV networks. The capabilities of the PV0/6 Voltametric Poles include a phase comparator function and a voltage meter function. Product Specifications High voltage measurement from 0 V to 6 kV. Triple indication of phase discrimination through OLED screen display, LED indicators and different phase warning via a buzzer. Navigation between work modes using push button. Visual indication of battery level. Ind...
ABT-CT insulation piercing connectors can be used for all types of LV-ABC conductors, as well as connections in the service line system, building electrical system, and public lighting system. ABT-CT can be easily installed by tightening the bolts to force the teeth to penetrate the insulation of the main line and the tap line simultaneously. Peeling of insulation on both lines is avoided. It is made from polyamide 6.6 with fibreglass. Saw-shaped tabs are made from brass with a tin-plated finis...
Once more Sofamel has catered to and satisfied its customers’ demand, by developing a new range of telescopic poles. This new range arrives up to 11, 80 mts. Its innovation is focused on the new system of fixing the extendable sections. The new range of telescopic poles also feature an easy handle, in order to make it possible to extend each section at the point that is required.
In the last few decades, carbon dioxide emissions have increased dramatically as a result of burning fossil fuels for energy generation, causing damage that is difficult to repair. This has led to greener solutions being sought as a way to protect the planet. One such solution is solar energy, which is renewable, inexhaustible, and non-polluting. Sofamel has developed everything required for the connection, safety, and optimization of a photovoltaic installation. It supplies the customers with...
In many countries, arc flash incidents are one of the leading causes of death or injury for electrical technicians. Given that more than half of all risks and injuries related to arc flashes affect the area above the neck, Sofamel has created different hoods that provide extremely effective personal protection: the Armour-1, Armour-2, and Armour-2 ATPV36. Armour-1 With a clear polycarbonate shield for low-intensity arc flashes Armour-1 provides adequate protection for class 1 as defined by t...
