Electrical Safety when working around electrical transmission and distribution lines is of critical importance. Contact or close approach to conductors presents an immediate danger of electrocution and death. This is all too common is commercial, industrial, and farm accidents with individuals who are not using proper attire and test equipment in the presence of live lines. This danger exists in underground bured power transmission as well, where digging into a buried cable can result in dire consequeces.

It is imperative to use proper testing equipment and protective apparel to mitigate these hazards as the use will prevent the formation of an arc or at least dissipate it before any damage can be done. The products above represent many different styles of AC Voltage detectors for different applications and different ranges of detection. The detectors should be used with electrical insulated hotsticks and with proper PPE apparel including insulated rubber gloves.
