I-Gard’s commitment to electrical safety provides both industrial and commercial 
customers with the products needed to protect their electrical equipment and the 
people that operate them.

As the only electrical-safety focused company whose product portfolio includes 
neutral grounding resistors, high-resistance grounding systems and optical arc 
mitigation, we take pride in our technologies that reduce the frequency and 
impact of electrical hazards, such as arc flash and ground faults.

For those customers who have purchased from us over the last 30 years, you 
know us for the quality and robustness of our products, our focus on customer 
service and technical leadership. We build on this foundation by investing 
in developing new products in electrical safety education - including EFC 
scholarship program - by actively participating in the IEEE community programs 
on technical and electrical safety standard, and working with local universities 
at discovering new technologies. We remain unrelenting in our goal of improving 
electrical safety in the workplace.

Our commitment to excellence is validated by long-standing relationships with 
industry leaders in fields as diverse as petroleum and gas, hospitals, automotive, 
data centers, food processing, aerospace, water and waste water plants, and 
telecommunications. We provide our customers with the product and application 
support required to ensure that their electrical distribution system is safe and reliable.
