Pfisterer KP Test 5A

Voltage Detectors

The KP-Test 5A outer cone voltage detector manufactured by PFISTERER and distributed by Thorne & Derrick can be used for indoor and outdoor medium voltage applications. The detector indicates operating voltage when brought into contact with a conductor.

The Pfisterer KP-Test 5A voltage detector provides a high level of user friendliness and user safety- KP-Test 5A is designed and type tested to Standard IEC 61243-1.

KP-Test 5A delivers reliable verdicts under any ambient conditions and thanks to its new surface layout the KP Test is suitable for internal as well as open air applications.

KP-Test 5A instruments detect the following voltage classes: 20-36kV
