Preventing the Invisible Threat:
Tackling Electrical Hazards with SmartVolt™

NOVEMBER 15, 2025

CATEGORY: ELECTRICAL SAFETY SOLUTIONS

Electricity - Silent, Invisible, and Unforgiving

Unlike fire or machinery, electrical hazards rarely announce themselves. A live wire looks harmless until it’s touched, and a hidden voltage leak can turn a routine inspection into an emergency. For linemen, maintenance engineers, and technicians working near energized systems, awareness is everything.

The challenge? Many electrical risks remain invisible until it’s too late.

The Hidden Dangers Behind Everyday Electrical Work

Even in well-maintained facilities, unseen issues can pose serious threats:

  • Voltage leaks from damaged insulation or connectors
  • Poor grounding that transfers current to unintended surfaces
  • Static build-up in high-voltage zones
  • Intermittent shorts that create unpredictable live points

Each of these can result in shocks, arc flashes, or fatal electrocutions – especially when working at heights or in damp environments.

Traditional safety checks like visual inspections or handheld testers are reactive. What workers need is proactive detection – from a safe distance.

Introducing SmartVolt™ - Awareness You Can Wear

Jarsh’s SmartVolt™ is a portable non-contact voltage detector designed for professionals who face electrical risks daily. Lightweight, durable, and intuitive, SmartVolt™ gives workers an early warning before they ever come close to danger.

Key Highlights

  • Non-contact Detection: Identifies live sources from up to 2.5 m away, depending on voltage.
  • SmartPause™ Function: Temporarily silences alarms in known live zones and reactivates automatically when exiting the area.
  • Visual & Audible Alerts: Bright LED and buzzer warn instantly of voltage presence.
  • Versatile Mounting: Attaches easily to helmets, harnesses, or wristbands for hands-free use.
  • Certified & Tested: Approved by NTH Kolkata and ERDA Gujarat, ensuring performance and reliability.

With its compact form and field-ready design, SmartVolt™ turns every worker into a walking voltage detector.

Real-World Application: Electrical Maintenance Made Safer

Imagine a maintenance crew inspecting high-tension lines after a storm. Hidden current leaks could make equipment or support structures live. A worker wearing SmartVolt™ would instantly detect the hazard before contact, allowing the team to isolate the source safely.

This simple alert can mean the difference between a quick fix and a life-threatening incident.

How SmartVolt™ Closes the Safety Gap

Electrical incidents often occur not because of ignorance, but because of delayed detection. SmartVolt™ bridges this gap through:

  • Early Warning: Detect voltage before physical contact.
  • Continuous Awareness: Operates for up to 150 hours on replaceable or rechargeable batteries.
  • Adaptability: Suitable for power utilities, metro projects, refineries, and industrial plants.
  • Worker Confidence: Encourages safe proximity practices and reduces complacency.

By combining proactive detection with ease of use, SmartVolt™ helps teams prevent rather than react to electrical hazards.
