If you attended Beckwith Electric's Protection Seminar this July, you may have noticed SecuControl's Safety Test Switchinstalled in the test rack for the new M-7651A, M-3425A and M-3311A relays.
"The installation was very easy, and the test switches work perfectly for our applications" said Hugo Monterrubio, Beckwith Marketing Director. "We had a lot of positive feedback from customers."

Product Premiere at Georgia Tech: STS IED
SecuControl recently introduced the new Safety Test Switch (ST Switch). At the upcoming Georgia Tech Protective Relaying Conference, the Safety Test Switch will be on display, together with a never-before-shown new product variant: the STS IED.
Both the standard Safety Test Switch and the STS IED are direct retrofits for knife-blade FT switches with added benefits:
- Finger-safe design and CT-shorting mechanism increase safety
- Integrated banana jacks make test access easier and help avoid common mistakes
- Status windows for visual confirmation of contact opening
- FT switch cutout size
- Customizable labeling
The difference lies in the test access points: The STS IED includes banana jacks for test access to the top side, to connect to Intelligent Electronic Devices. The standard Safety Test Switch has additional banana jacks on the system side. For current measurement and test access to the system side, test probes are available that fit both.
Whether you choose the standard Safety Test Switch or the STS IED: you get a better-than-equivalent test switch, increase safety and improve test access.
The STS IED does not only beat knife-blade test switches in regards to features, but also price. Ask us for a quote!

New Products On Display at Texas A&M Relay Conference
SecuControl is proud to show several new products at this year's Relay Conference.
The main innovation is the new Safety Test Switch - a better-than-equivalent alternative to FT switches.
The exhibition area is open today during the lunch break from 12:00 to 1:30 pm.
Come see us today!
The new Safety Test Switch (ST Switch) brings test access into the year 2015. It combines advantages of legacy FT switches with safer design and easier operation.
Safety is increased through a finger-safe front. Shorting bridges in disconnect pins for currents ensure make-before-break CT shorting. Individual disconnect pins are keyed against mistakes.
- FT switch cutout size
- Integrated banana jacks
- Visible open via status windows
- Customizable labeling
The ST Switch: safer, more convenient test access, price competitive.
