Overview

Objectives

The main objective of the project was to develop new personal protective equipment (PPE) based on the detection of the electric field of catenaries, transformers or other electrical installations. This PPE would provide the operator with a higher level of protection against electrical hazards, as well as provide information on possible falls suffered by the user, due to an electrical accident or during the normal course of his/her activity, and information on the person’s state of health at the time of the accident, allowing the necessary emergency action without the need of interaction with the user.
