Fusemate

Replacing LV fuses under fault conditions puts staff at risk. Fusemate solves this by enabling safe, remote re-energisation and circuit assessment.

Product overview

Fusemate is a re-energisation device that reduces injury risk when replacing LV fuses. It safely energises circuits from up to 30m away and displays circuit conditions via an LED bar graph. 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.

Key features

Load-carrying test

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

Remote activation

Wireless fob enables safe re-energisation from up to 30m away from the fuse position.

Versatile use

Suitable for substations, link boxes, and pole-mounted fuse positions.

Fuse stalk support

Compatible with JS and JP fuse stalks for flexible deployment.

Increased network safety at Northern Ireland Electricity

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.
