Megger 514242-2 Electronic DETEX Voltage Detector

Description

The Megger 514242-2 Electronic DETEX Voltage Detector is a safety tool used by electricians and utility workers to detect the presence of phase-to-ground AC voltage on high-voltage electrical systems. It is designed for use on transmission lines with an operating range of 200 to 550 kV.

Key features

• High-voltage range: This model is specifically designed for transmission line voltages, with an operating range of 200 to 550 kV.
• Visual indication: It features four bright red LEDs for a clear and visible warning, especially at a distance. The red LEDs will flash when voltage is detected.
• Audible indication: The device also includes a piercing tone to audibly alert users to the presence of voltage.
• Continuous monitoring: There is no on/off switch, so the unit is continuously monitoring for voltage, which ensures it is always ready for use.
• Self-test function: A built-in piezoelectric voltage source allows for a self-test feature to confirm the detector is working properly before use. Pushing the test button simulates external voltage, and a green LED indicates the unit is operative.
• Universal spline mount: It is fitted with a universal spline for attachment to a hot line pole, which is rated for the system voltage being tested (the pole is sold separately).
• ANSI and IEC compliant: The detector provides reliable voltage detection in accordance with ANSI C84.1-1982 standards and conforms to IEC guidelines.
