Overview

Two protections in one harness

Detection module on the shoulder

For linemen who climb

Work at height on electrical structures carries two risks at once: a fall, and contact with a live conductor. A standard harness with metal hardware does nothing about the second, and can make it worse. Kavach removes conductive parts from the harness and adds an early warning on the shoulder.

  • Fully non-conductive construction; plastic-coated, dielectric buckles and adjusters
  • Non-conductive dorsal D-ring for fall arrest; dual chest loops; two side D-rings for positioning
  • Non-contact detection of live AC 220 V – 66 kV
  • Alerts by LED, buzzer and vibration, with smart silence and auto-reactivation
  • EN 361:2002 and EN 358:2018; CE marked; tested by National Test House, Kolkata
Voltage detection

An alarm on the shoulder, where the head and hands go

Range

Detects live AC voltage from 220 V to 66 kV without contact.

220 V – 66 kV AC

Module

Shoulder-mounted electronics, rated IP65.

IP65

Battery

600 mAh lithium polymer, USB Type-C, about 1 hour to charge, up to 60 hours standby, about 300 charge cycles.

60 h standby

Three ways to get the message

  • Visual: LED alert on the shoulder module
  • Audio: buzzer
  • Vibration: felt through clothing, even on a noisy site
  • Smart silence mode: temporary mute in a known live zone, with automatic re-activation
  • 3-level battery indicator; 600 mAh Li-Po, USB Type-C, ~1 h charge, up to 60 h standby

An early warning, not a permit to work. Non-contact detection tells a worker that a live field is near. It does not prove a conductor is dead. Keep isolating, testing with an approved contact tester and earthing before any work on a line, exactly as your safety rules require.

Use and care

Inspect it like a harness. Charge it like a device.

Before every use

  • Inspect the harness and electronics
  • Make sure the battery is adequately charged
  • Do not use if webbing, buckles or housing show damage
  • For use only by trained and authorised personnel

Cleaning and storage

  • Clean with a dry cloth only
  • Do not immerse the electronic module in water
  • Store between −20 °C and +60 °C
  • Recharge over USB Type-C (about 1 hour)
FAQ

Common questions

Still unsure? Ask us: we reply within 24 hours.

What makes the harness dielectric?
It is built to be fully non-conductive: 44 mm high-tenacity polyester webbing, plastic-coated dielectric buckles and adjusters, and a non-conductive dorsal D-ring.
What voltages does the detector cover?
Live AC from 220 V to 66 kV, detected without contact.
How does it alert the wearer?
Three ways at once: an LED, a buzzer and vibration. A smart silence mode allows a temporary mute in a known live zone and reactivates automatically.
Which standards does it meet?
EN 361:2002 (full body harness, fall arrest) and EN 358:2018 (work positioning). It is CE marked and tested by National Test House, Kolkata.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 60 hours on standby. A full charge takes about 1 hour over USB Type-C, and the battery is rated for about 300 charge cycles.
Can I wash it?
Clean with a dry cloth only, and never immerse the electronic module in water.
Does it replace isolation and earthing?
No. The detector is an early warning. Keep isolating, testing and earthing before any work on a line.
