Proving Cables Dead
69kV Voltage Detector Dual Range
PBwel MTAG Go NoGo Contact voltage detector is designed for “proving cables dead”, making sure that nominal voltage is actually absent on a circuit of an HV electrical power and distribution system – the two operating ranges are calibrated according to IEC recommendations between 1kV and 69kV:
- The device will detect any nominal voltage in contact with the part of the installation to be tested on overhead lines and substations.
- It will not indicate voltage presence when detecting induced voltages in order to allow grounding operations.
Voltage Detector Advantages
Optimised indication that can be understood clearly in all working conditions when using the voltage detector:
- The visual indication is visible in all usual working environments, in sunlight or fog, with a wide angle of visibility and from the side thanks to an optic ring.
- The 100 dB sound signal is designed to remains audible even in traffic or strong wind, thanks to its acoustic “horn”.
Direct access to the battery and sealed electronics compartment. When the voltage detector battery is replaced, this design prevents the following:
- Accidental interchange of housing or circuitry;
- Damage to electronic circuits;
- Humidity ingress into the device when the battery is replaced outdoors.
- 2 in 1:
- This dual range detector acts as 2 voltage detectors with 2 separated ranges: lower range and upper range.
- The presence of nominal voltage within the calibrated ranges is indicated as shown below:
