Fusemate

A remote re-energisation and circuit assessment solution for replacing LV fuses.

How Fusemate Helps

Replacing an LV fuse under fault conditions puts staff at risk. Fusemate is a re-energisation device that reduces the risk of injury when replacing LV fuses, safely energising circuits from up to 30 metres away. Its LED display visualises condition data in graph form so engineers can instantly assess if a fault persists, and if the circuit is overloaded. So, they know exactly when it’s safe for them to restore supply. This helps engineers quickly assess if a fault persists, if the circuit is overloaded, or if it’s safe to restore supply, saving time and improving safety.

What Fusemate Delivers

Load-carrying test

Safely carries full circuit load during fuse replacement to test for faults or overloads.

Remote activation

Enables safe re-energisation from up to 30 metres away.

Versatile use

Works at substations, link boxes, and pole-mounted LV fuse positions.

Fuse stalk support

Supports JS and JP fuse stalks for flexible deployment.

Increased LV Network Safety at Northern Ireland Electricity

When power goes out, it’s up to the energy provider to get it up and running. But it’s not so simple when the cause isn’t clear. And then there’s safety issues to take into consideration, too.

Robert McKissick, (Role Title) at Northern Ireland Electricity talked to us about his team’s challenges, and how Fusemate helps.

“No-one likes electric power disruption, least of all families at home watching TV or using their Wi-Fi. As soon as a customer goes off supply for any reason, the clock’s ticking and everyone’s aim is to get it restored quickly. When one of our guys lands on site, all he knows is that he’s faced with a ruptured LV fuse – but he doesn’t immediately know the cause. Was it under excessive load? Or is there a permanent fault somewhere? Whatever the reason, that fuse needs to be replaced and the cause assessed. And that’s where Fusemate is so valuable – it lets us restore supply safely and efficiently. The great thing about Fusemate is that it gives us confidence and a real sense of safety. We also like it being so light and portable – it doesn’t take up much space in your car boot or in the back of the van.”
