17 March 2022 Lakewood Ranch, Florida – IRISS, the world leader in electrical maintenance safety devices and reliability technologies, has purchased the UK-based company, Safe-Connect. The announcement comes just six months after the two companies started a strategic distribution partnership.
Safe-Connect’s award-winning products join the IRISS ecosystem of reliability products and technologies to increase asset monitoring and inspection capabilities further. The thermochromic components in these products cause a color change based on temperature ranges, providing 24/7 safety monitoring to give a predictive warning on overheated equipment. In addition, the permanent quality of the change highlights possible issues in straight and non-continuous load applications, protecting against electrical fire or equipment failure.
IRISS will keep the name “Safe-Connect” for the product line, including ThermoClips, ThermoWraps, ThermoSpots, and ThermoSpot-Bs. These products complement the patented polymer-based IR windows as a visual indicator between IR inspections, mitigating the risk of costly operational interruptions. Thememory-effect technology records overtemperature issues in low/medium/high/varying voltage equipment.
“We are excited to add the Safe-Connect range of products to our current electrical maintenance safety devices. The patented color-lock technology used in safe-connect products adds a unique dimension of protection to electrical asset management, giving both a visual and historical reference to cables and
switches that are currently in an over-temperature condition or may have gone over-temperature between inspections. We are also pleased that the management team from Safe-Connect UK have joined the IRISS family to aid a smooth transition of the existing products and assist in developing new product solutions to add to our EMSD product offerings”, said IRISS Founder/CEO Martin Robinson.
For companies that want to protect their workers and assets, this announcement brings access to cost-effective strategies and operational solutions to safeguard operations and workers.

It has been sixteen years since IEEE 1584 Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations was first published in year 2002. This standard was highly celebrated back then because for the first time there was an internationally recognized standard that provided a method to calculate the arcing short circuit current, incident energy and arc flash boundary. The results of these calculations are often listed on arc flash labels and have become an integral part of arc flash studies and risk assessments globally.
Now the much anticipated publication of the 2018 Edition of IEEE 1584 Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations has arrived. The new edition is based on more than 2000 tests spanning a wide range of voltages, configurations and parameters, and features more detailed model and new equations.
New ARCAD's arc flash calculation software program version 6.0 conforming to the new 2018 - IEEE 1584 2nd Edition guide has also been released. Please visit AFA V6.0 product page online at https://arcadvisor.com/arc-flash-software to review the program features and capabilities, and to download free demo.
