Test in accordance with DGUV-V3

Personal safety in wind turbines and transfer stations

Legal security and plant safety — with independent tests of 8.2

When it comes to wind turbines, safety in the electrical operating room is paramount. Transfer stations and substations are exposed areas where specialist personnel regularly visit. An audit in accordance with DGUV-V3 ensures that potential personal hazards are identified at an early stage, that all protective measures are reliable and that the systems can be operated in a legally compliant manner.

The DGUV regulations regulate both the safety test requirements and the qualification of the inspectors. In addition to the initial inspection after commissioning, repeat tests are required by law — usually every four years. This requirement applies to all electrical operating rooms in which personnel can be present. As a result, this provision applies to wind energy plants, as well as photovoltaic and storage systems.

With an audit in accordance with DGUV-V3 of 8.2, you fulfill your operator obligations, ensure the legal security of your system and also prevent technical risks.
