Megger 514242-1 Detex Electronic Voltage Detector with Red LED and Audible Indic

Description

The Megger DETEX voltage detector is a voltage meter for detecting AC voltage on grounded high-voltage electrical systems. The unit continuously monitors phase-to-ground voltages of a circuit as long as it is connected. Audible and visual indicators clearly indicate the presence of voltage. The unit is equipped with a telescoping probe that extends from 86.4 to 121.9cm (34 to 48 inches) and is marked with the safe distance for testing. A built-in piezoelectric voltage source provides a self-test function, which helps ensure that the current path and indicators are working properly. The DETEX electronic voltage detector is used by electricians and electrical contractors.
Electrical test meters report electrical circuit properties, such as voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity. Available in handheld or benchtop models, they detect electrical problems in equipment, wiring, and power supplies. A variety of probes, clamps, or leads connect the meter to a circuit or device. Single-function meters, such as battery testers and voltage testers, measure one property of a circuit; multimeters measure multiple properties. Electrical test meters display information either in analog form using a needle that moves on a calibrated scale, or in digital form using digits or a graphic representation on an LED screen. Meter choice includes the electrical properties to be measured and the anticipated range of results, and should have a rating that is higher than the maximum value of the anticipated range. An electrical test meter has multiple settings that correspond to potential ranges of values for the properties it can measure. A manual ranging meter requires the operator to flip through different settings until the correct range is reached. An autoranging meter cycles through range settings automatically until it reaches the correct range.
Megger manufactures equipment for cable fault locating, protective relay testing, telecommunications and data integrity, and power quality testing under multiple brand names, among them Megger, Biddle, States, and AVO. The company, founded in 1889, is headquartered in Dover, England, and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standards.
