Non-Contact, High Voltage Detector 275HVD
5
2.2 Typical Uses (always use a Hot Stick)
• Identify and check live cables
• Check and detect live high voltage cables
• Find fault in exible cables
• Check grounding equipment
• Service neon lighting
• Trace live wires
• Check high frequency radiation
• Detect residual or induced voltages
IMPORTANT WARNING
The 275HVD detects radiated electrical elds. To accomplish
this, an energized cable or sample must radiate an electrical
eld. Shielded cables or shielded samples do not radiate, or
radiate very small electrical elds. Also, cables with concen-
tric neutrals will have a smaller/lower radiated eld than plain
insulated cables.
The 275HVD may not detect, as expected, an electrical eld
on shielded cables (buried cables are often shielded) or
shielded samples and the 275HVD has lower sensitivity on
cables with concentric neutrals.
It is not recommended to use the 275HVD on shielded
cables or shielded samples. Use extreme care on cables
with concentric neutrals (use a low setting).
