High Voltage Testers
Voltage Detector
Voltage Detector Tester
These detectors are used to verify live or de-energized conductors. These may be used with rubber insulating gloves or hot
sticks using the splined universal end fitting. Each tester has
a 4.5 volt transistor amplifier with audio/visual indicator. It is
recommended that the tester be moved closer to conductor until
warning is indicated, or it touches conductor, apparatus, or test
point. Test the unit on a nearby conductor
to get verification of “dead”. Each tester
includes three C batteries.
The voltage detector tester provides the most convenient and reliable means of verifying operation of voltage detectors. The tester
is self contained and features instant push-button operation and
requires a standard 9-volt battery. It’s portable and lightweight. To
operate, push the button and move the tester toward the voltage
detector being verified. An electric field activates the detector causing the audible and visual signals to operate.
• Kit includes: Voltage detector, Shotgun
Adapter, and Storage case
• Voltage Settings:
Off/240V/4.2kV/15kV/25kV/35kV/69kV/230kV
P/N 9000-99676 Voltage Detector Kit
P/N 9000-99677 Self-Testing Voltage Detector Kit
Multi-Range Voltage Detectors
The Multi-Range Voltage Detector (MRVD) confirms that a line is
de-energized prior to performing maintenance on it. The MRVD
gives a metered readout capable of distinguishing actual line
voltage from static or feedover from an adjacent line. Readings
from an MRVD can be compared with numeric certainty rather
than the subjective judgments associated with “fuzz-sticking” or
“glow-detecting.” Since the MRVD is not a voltmeter, no specific
accuracy is claimed by the manufacturer or can be assumed by
the user.
P/N 9000-99664 1-40kV MRVD
P/N 9000-99665 16-161kV
Included with each MRVD:
• Carrying case
• Hook probe
• Straight probe*
P/N 9000-99678
Voltage Detector Tester
AB Chance Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicator
This instrument makes hot-line voltage testing easier than ever. Its
automatic-ranging function quickly displays the approximate lineto-line voltage class with bright display lights. Simple to operate,
the tester attaches to an Epoxiglas® insulated universal handle of
appropriate length (Not Included). A single push-button activates
the instrument, then a single light indicates either Power On (by
glowing solid) or Low Battery (by blinking). It automatically begins
detecting at approximately 480 Volts and holds the display of one
of these voltage classes: 600V, 4kV, 15kV, 25kV, 35kV, or 69kV
phase-to-phase. The audible signal begins as a slow beeping
that becomes faster as the final reading is displayed.
Included with each Indicator:
• Shepherd hook probe
• Instruction manual
• Hard shell padded case
P/N 9000-99672
*Straight probe is only included with P/N 9000-99664

Phasing Testers
Standard Meter
These phasing testers easily determine phase relationships
and approximate voltage, line-to-line or line-to-ground.
Each tester consists of two fiberglass poles with end fittings threaded for interchangeable probes. The probe fittings couple with a high-impedance component encased in
each pole. To complete the test circuit, a 22-foot length of
insulated flexible cable stores on a reel affixed to one pole
and connects to the voltmeter on the other pole. Simple to
operate, the tester poles first attach to two 6-foot Epoxiglas®
insulating universal handles (included in each kit for proper
working clearances). Then the probes can be brought into
contact with the conductors appropriate for the meter to read
phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground voltage.
P/N 9000-99667 16kV Tester Kit
Kit includes: Two 6’-long x 1¼”-dia. Epoxiglas® universal handles with
storage bag, tester, hook probes, case and instruction manual.
Digital Meters
The large direct-reading display of these Digital Phasing Testers easily determines phase relationship and approximate
voltage, line-to-line or line-to-ground. Push-button controls
permit easy selection of options for display, such as backlight and hold features. The unit’s sleep mode automatically
conserves the battery when not in use.
P/N 9000-99669 16kV Tester Kit*
P/N 9000-99670 40kV Tester Kit
Kit includes: Two 6’-long x 1¼”-dia. Epoxiglas® universal handles with
storage bag, tester, hook probes, case, instruction manual, two bushing
adapters, one elbow adapter and a phasing voltmeter tester.
*Also includes DC Hi-Pot Adapter
Dual-Range Meters
For convenience on different systems, the toggle switch on
the meter housing can switch calibration between the two
scales on the meter face. Plus, it improves readability for
low-end values on the Hi (16kV) scale. Switched to the Lo
(5kV) range, those values deflect the needle more to give
more finite readings.
P/N 9000-99668 5 & 16kV Tester Kit
P/N 9000-99666 5 & 16kV Tester Kit*
Kit includes: Two 6’-long x 1¼”-dia. Epoxiglas® universal handles with
