Littelfuse, Inc., a diversified, industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected, and safer world expands its SB5000 Industrial Shock Block Series to help protect workers from electrical shock for loads up to 80 and 100 Amperes. The SB5080 and the SB5100 have proactive ground check protection which monitors the ground wire for continuity from the Shock Block to the load, and interrupts power, or prevents energization of compromised equipment.
The SB5080 and SB5100 Shock Block models are suitable for applications within commercial kitchens, restaurants, and grocery stores as well as vehicle service centers or in places where electrical equipment is being used outdoors or in wet environments.
“When it comes to 3-phase GFCI protection, sometimes shock protection workarounds are used that don’t quite meet the code and if one of those workarounds gets installed it jeopardizes the safety of the employees for the entire lifespan of that installation,” stated Tim Piemonte, Vertical Market Manager – Electrical Safety, Littelfuse Industrial Business Unit. “Our Shock Block is a personnel protection device that interrupts the compromised circuit before electrical shock occurs keeping workers safe and on the job.”
