Gerrie Electric's Safety Success at Andrew Peller Winery
Recently, Gerrie Electric, in partnership with Littelfuse, addressed potential electrical hazards in the damp environments of Andrew Peller Winery. Our team proposed installing a Shock Block GFCI 3-phase 600 V unit in their production facility as a solution to these hazards. After a successful six-month trial, the winery confirmed that the SB5000 “met all their expectations.” Impressed by the results, Peller Winery has since placed two separate orders for a total of 34 Shock Block SB5000s, highlighting our shared commitment to ongoing safety and success.
