Event technology

Electrical systems must be tested for safety in accordance with DIN VDE 0100 (installation of low-voltage systems) before they are commissioned. DIN VDE 0105-100 (operation of electrical systems) also stipulates regular periodic inspections. These tests are used both for personal protection (protection against electric shock) and for system protection. Neither people nor devices and systems should be damaged by faulty devices.

There is usually not enough time to check. Skilled labour is in short supply. Technicians are often not qualified electricians. They lack an understanding of complex electrical systems. In addition, different configurations are constantly required on set. A solution is therefore required that reduces the effort involved in electrical testing without jeopardising the safety of people and systems.

Continuous residual current monitoring makes it possible to reduce the time and effort required for initial and recurrent tests, while at the same time fully guaranteeing the safe operation of electrical systems. The measurement technology is able to identify faulty

devices and cables during operation and alerts the technicians. Dangerous situations can thus be averted.

Bender Powerscout® software is also available to facilitate system documentation.

Benefits for organisers:

•  Reduced effort for initial and recurrent electrical tests
•  Reduced effort for system documentation
•  Permanent monitoring of the system status
•  Permanent protection against electric shock hazards
•  Permanent system protection

Note:

The residual current monitoring system from Bender can be integrated into existing event technology.
