Safety & Premium Yoke
The WC-6 , WC-42, and WC-9 are our most popular Yokes in the EU. The AC Yokes provide the most convenient safety to operators. The Cordless Yoke provides the best mobility, for an Inspector or the NDT Technician.
The WC-42 is a popular AC Yoke in the EU, as power tools in wet and hazardous areas are fed by 42 Volt Power Supplies, which is far safer than domestic voltages. This safety is accomplished in North America where domestic 115 Volt outlets are protected with Ground Fault Interrupters.

The WC-42 Low Voltage AC Yoke, complies with safety regulations in different parts of the World. .
These models are not used in North America due to the use of lower voltages (nominally 115 Volts), with excellent grounding systems on convenience (“Mains”) outlets. To ensure even greater safety, GFCI’s (Ground Fault Current Interrupters) are installed on Outdoor and in most Industrial Outlets, to further protect workers and the general public.
The WC-42 is based on the WC-6, and is supplied from a standard 42 Volt Power Supply (7.5 Amps Minimum), or Western Instruments PD-42 power supply ,with an input Voltage of 230/50.
The Switching System of the WC-42 is designed to handle these higher amperages, with a greater degree of reliability. The electronic module used in the WC-42 is only able to operate from an AC power supply, thus DC is not an option.
Due to the nature of the intended environment, a confined space, the AC Field provides an ease of use and maximum particle mobility. The 42 Power Supply permits a minimum 4.6kg (10 pound) lift when supplying a low voltage AC current to the WC-42 Yoke.
