The transport sector is responsible for 20% of global carbon emissions. Supporting the electrification of this sector is a crucial step towards creating a more sustainable future. For the past few years, changes in global regulatory standards for the safe electrification of transport systems have not keep pace with demand, but now governments across the world are catching up fast as the trend for electrification accelerates.
With businesses and consumers looking to reduce their carbon footprint, rapid technological advances have been made to accelerate electrification in transport. However, this brings a new set of technical challenges, with vehicles such as trains needing higher voltages to operate increasingly complex electrical systems. Faulty wiring or a malfunction can have disastrous consequences, making testing of these electrical systems critical to ensure their safe operation.
WEETECH, a Halma company based in Germany, designs and manufactures electrical testing technology to ensure high voltage systems are safe to use and remain compliant with increasing safety regulation. WEETECH provides customised testing solutions for cabling harnesses - multiple cables bound together to transmit electrical power – ensuring they are fit for purpose while protecting workers in these dangerous testing environments.
As the world moves to a more sustainable future, the demand for electrical safety solutions will keep growing. WEETECH’s technology makes sure that the transition to high voltage electrical systems happens in a safer way for everyone, every day.
