The short answer: LOTO is an energy control system that prevents unexpected power generation and dangerous energy release. The arc flash security assesses the heat, pressure and particle risks arising from the electric arc. The application of one does not automatically eliminate the other.
What does the LOTO offer?
It manages the process of separating, locking, labelling and verifying the energy-free state. The purpose is to prevent reenergization during maintenance.
What does Ark Flash Evaluation determine?
In electrical equipment, the possible arc energy determines controls such as approach limits, working method and necessary personal protective equipment.
Is there a risk during the voltage measurement?
Until the absence of voltage is considered circular energy. Measurement requires appropriate equipment, procedure, capacity and electrical protective measures.
How do the two systems work together?
First, safe approach and measurement conditions are planned; energy sources are separated and locked; the absence of voltage and other types of energy are verified. The LOTO procedure must be compatible with the operator's electricity safety program.
What does Loto Partner provide for your business?
Loto Partner plays field discovery, energy point inventory, correct LOTO/EKED product matching, machine-specific procedures and visual instructions, applied training, LOTO simulator and DigiPartnerPro digital tracking solution according to the real risks of the business.
