    Stray voltage detector This unit detects low stray voltage, which may be present within electrically conductive sources. The detector operates by holding it with a bare or gloved hand, or by using the optional extension handle, creating a virtual ground and directly contacting the metal tip of the detector to the potentially energized source. It picks up voltages from 5VAC to 600VAC with direct contact

    Stray voltage detector

    This unit detects low stray voltage, which may be present within electrically conductive sources. The detector operates by holding it with a bare or gloved hand, or by using the optional extension handle, creating a virtual ground and directly contacting the metal tip of the detector to the potentially energized source. It picks up voltages from 5VAC to 600VAC with direct contact and above 600VAC at a distance. Three optional accessories are available, including a detector tester, an extension handle, and a ground shield.
