CATU Insulated Square Drive Torque Wrenches For Live Working At Low Voltage
Standard
Insulated Tools are manufactured according to the International IEC60900 standards for working with live systems up to 1000 V AC & 1500 V DC
An insulated torque wrench is a specialized hand tool designed to apply a specific amount of torque to fasteners, like bolts or nuts, while offering electrical insulation for safety. These wrenches are particularly useful in environments where electrical hazards are present, such as working with electrical systems, circuits, or live electrical panels. The insulation on the handle helps protect the user from electrical shock if they accidentally come into contact with live wires or conductive surfaces.
Here are key features and uses of an insulated torque wrench:
Insulation
- The handle is coated or made of non-conductive material, typically rubber or plastic, which prevents electrical currents from passing through to the user's hand.
- The insulation usually complies with industry safety standards such as IEC 60900 or ASTM F1505.
2. Torque Control
- The wrench allows the user to set a specific amount of torque (force) to tighten or loosen fasteners.
- This ensures fasteners are tightened to the correct specification, avoiding over-tightening (which can cause damage) or under-tightening (which may lead to loose connections).
3. Applications
- Electrical work: It's commonly used in situations involving live electrical systems where tools need to be insulated to prevent electrical shocks.
- Industrial use: Used in maintenance and assembly operations for fastening tasks that require precise torque and electrical safety.
- Automotive repair: Some insulated torque wrenches are used in automotive work, especially in situations where electrical components are involved.
4. Safety Standards
- Insulated torque wrenches are tested and rated according to international safety standards for electrical insulation. Always check the certification labels to ensure that the wrench is safe for use in live electrical environments.
