Southwire is recalling voltage detectors due to a shock and burn hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the detectors can give a false “no voltage” reading when testing live wires, ...

Who needs a Fluke high voltage detector when you’ve got one of these things? Actually, we still recommend a professional high voltage detector for serious work, but you’ve got to like this electric ...

The detector is intended to sense and signal to another circuit that an appliance is connected to the mains voltage. For this purpose, an optocoupler, IC1 in the circuit, is used. The light-emitting ...

The growing number of plug-in electric cars, and also hybrids, as well as expanding solar market, leads to the topic of how emergency responders will be able to detect high DC voltage. One of the ...

The XC6127 series of voltage detectors feature high precision (±0.8% at 25°C), an internal delay circuit, and a manual reset function. The release delay time is set from 50ms up to a maximum of 800ms, ...

The Compass device, which is comfortable and easy to wear, is mounted on the underside of the hard-hat brim. Working alone and at night, an NV Energy troubleshooter patrolled a line to search for the ...

Voltage tester, tick-tracer, glow-tip, non-contact voltage tester... whatever. Same thing. I call it a voltage sniffer, but the technical name for this device is a capacitive voltage sensor. That's a ...

HD Electric Co.’s new PRX-500 Proximity Voltage Detector is an addition to its voltage detector product line. With nine selectable voltage ranges from 120 V to 500 kV, the PRX Proximity Voltage ...

Torex Semiconductor Ltd. has developed a lineup of voltage detectors with a delay function and sense pin isolated external hysteresis adjustment, as well as an internal 100V surge voltage protection ...

ABLIC claims that its S-19116 Series automotive high-voltage detector has the industry’s fastest detection response time of max. 6.8μs while achieving ultra-low current consumption of 2.0μA typ The ...

HD Electric Co.'s TAG voltage detectors are designed to detect voltage on distribution and transmission systems. When in direct contact with an energized conductor, the TAG emits an audible and visual ...
