Greater safety around electric vehicle charging stations.

Protection against accidental contact.

Retrofit steel poles.

In the field of elec­tric vehic­le char­ging sta­ti­ons, the­re are strict elec­tri­cal safe­ty requi­re­ments. The FUCHS touch pro­tec­tion, made of glass-fiber-rein­forced pla­s­tic (GFRP), ser­ves as an insu­la­ting sheath for light poles and redu­ces the risk of dan­ge­rous touch vol­ta­ges.

The non-con­duc­ti­ve pro­per­ties of the fiber­glass-rein­forced pla­s­tic (FRP) jacket pro­tect peo­p­le from coming into cont­act with live com­pon­ents and help ensu­re the safe­ty of peo­p­le and equip­ment in the vici­ni­ty of modern char­ging infra­struc­tu­re.

Durable and cost-effective.

Thanks to its high resis­tance to wea­the­ring and cor­ro­si­on, the touch pro­tec­tion is sui­ta­ble for for new instal­la­ti­ons and the retro­fit­ting of exis­ting light poles. The Its robust con­s­truc­tion and low main­ten­an­ce requi­re­ments make it a cost-effec­ti­ve and dura­ble solu­ti­on for muni­ci­pa­li­ties, ener­gy pro­vi­ders, and ope­ra­tors of char­ging infra­struc­tu­re.

Whe­ther for a new instal­la­ti­on or retrofitting—with a GRP touch pro­tec­tion slee­ve, even exis­ting steel poles of a wide varie­ty of dia­me­ters can be cus­to­mi­zed. The slee­ve pro­vi­des elec­tri­cal insu­la­ti­on in the area of the pole that is acces­si­ble to peo­p­le, hel­ping to ensu­re safe­ty in the imme­dia­te vici­ni­ty of the char­ging infra­struc­tu­re. Thanks to the quick and easy instal­la­ti­on of the pro­tec­ti­ve cove­ring, exis­ting steel poles can be upgraded in a short amount of time. Whe­ther on a light pole or a par­king bar­ri­er: With insu­la­ti­on made of glass-fiber-rein­forced pla­s­tic, steel poles achie­ve non-con­duc­ti­ve pro­per­ties simi­lar to tho­se of a GRP pole.

Product Benefits

The insu­la­ted GRP design ensu­res a noti­ceable increase in safe­ty around elec­tric char­ging sta­ti­ons by relia­bly mini­mi­zing the risk of elec­tri­cal shock. Thanks to its low weight, the sys­tem is easy to hand­le and quick and simp­le to install. A straight­for­ward on-site mea­su­re­ment pro­cess allows for fle­xi­ble deployment—whether for new instal­la­ti­ons or retro­fit­ting exis­ting loca­ti­ons.

Thanks to its robust con­s­truc­tion and high resis­tance to wea­the­ring and cor­ro­si­on, the mate­ri­al is ide­al­ly sui­ted for long-term out­door use, making it extre­me­ly dura­ble and low-main­ten­an­ce. As a future-pro­of addi­ti­on to modern char­ging infra­struc­tures, this solu­ti­on thus offers eco­no­mic value for muni­ci­pa­li­ties and ener­gy pro­vi­ders.
