Why is it so important to use portable earthing devices?

Even if a circuit appears to be de-energized,
accidental energizations can still occur

These incidents can be caused by human error, lightning, backfeed from solar panels or generators, or voltage induced by nearby lines. These situations pose a real risk that has led to numerous accidents and highlights the need to follow strict safety protocols.

Your safety is our priority
We have expanded our range of grounding and short-circuiting equipment!

At Sofamel, we’re committed to protecting workers with equipment that meets IEC 61230 standards — like our PATC-MPU / MPL portable earthing and short-circuiting kit, specially designed for medium and high voltage substations.

Now offering more flexibility in:

Cable cross-section: up to 120 mm² (branched) / 150 mm² (straight).
Cable types: available in Copper (Cu) and Aluminium (Al).
Lengths: multiple options within standard regulations.
Clamps: tailored to your needs and short-circuit current ratings.
