HOW TO SELECT THE CORRECT DETECTor

Key factors to consider when selecting a voltage detector:

  • Low or high voltage – is the detector required to test the power of a low or high voltage application.
  • Are there any other detection instruments or electrical protection products required.
  • What operating voltage does the product need to detect – voltage detectors are separated by their different operating limits.

Typically, voltage detectors are used in conjunction with insulating gloves or an electrical hot stick. This is to ensure the operator is fully protected against any live electrical power that is still present or if the cables are live.
