High Voltage Detector

High Voltage Detector

Mitchell Instruments company offers a complete line of Non-Contact Voltage Detectors. These testers use an internal sensor designed to detect the radiated electrical field (V/m) present in energized conductors. The radiated electrical field increases with the line voltage but decreases with distance and/or shielding. When an electrical field is detected, a sound annuciator (high pitch-high powered buzzer) and visual indicators (bright LEDs) are generated, warning the operator of live conductors.

The Mitchell Instruments Company model MMJ-213112 Non-Contact High Voltage Detector is a high voltage detector by proximity. It is a product designed to warn of the presense of voltage in a particular work site. An eight position rotary switch selects the detection range.

The MMJ-213112 is powered by three standard Alkaline C cell batteries and can be used both in- and out-of-doors. A universal spline on the back-end facilitates attachment to any standard hot stick. A self-test position ensures that all circuitry and annunciators are working properly before use.
