Voltage indicators and proving unit improve electricians' safety

The bright, long-life neon indicators give a clear and immediate display of voltage. The return lead incorporates an HSC fuse, which, together with the retractable test prods, ensures that the unit meets all the GS38, M15/4, HSE, IEC 1010 and IEC 61243 recommendations. Instant, clear indication shows if a circuit is live, the voltage range and whether AC or DC.

A tough moulded case construction and long-life neons, combined with heavy-duty, double-insulated cable, large finger guard and a retractable, lockable prod sheath, make this one of the safest, most durable and reliable instruments of its type. The neons strike progressively to indicate range present, for both DC and AC.

Martindale's PD690 is a portable, battery-powered proving unit for the testing of contact type voltage detectors up to 690V. This unit is suitable for indicators with 230V and 415/440V AC or DC detection ranges, such as the Martindale VI13700G. The PD690 can also check Drummond and other filament lamps due to its output being sufficient to illuminate the bulb.

Martindale's VI13700G voltage indicator and PD690 proving unit can be purchased at 39.80 and 79.85, respectively, or as a package at 119.65, with a free carry case worth 17.50. They are available from wholesalers or online at www.martindale-electric.co.uk.
