Voltage Detector for Capacitive Test Points | 7kV+ | Visual & Audible Alert
Voltage Detector for Capacitive Test Points | 7kV+ | Visual & Audible Alert
PENTA MVD1-GNG-C Voltage Detector is engineered for safe, precise verification of voltage absence on capacitive test points in elbow connectors. Designed for “proving dead” operations, it ensures compliance and worker safety during grounding in medium-voltage systems exceeding 7 kV AC.
The detector provides 360° visual and audible feedback in any field condition. A red light and beep indicate voltage presence, a green light confirms operational readiness through self-test, and a low battery warning displays in orange. With its durable polycarbonate housing and automatic wake-up feature, this tool is built to perform in demanding environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Capacitive Test Point Verification — Ensures absence of voltage before grounding elbow connector systems.
- Visual & Audible Indicators — Red = voltage present | Green = OK/self-test | Orange = low battery.
- Automatic Self-Test — Continuously checks circuitry, detection level, and battery voltage.
- Durable & Lightweight — Rugged orange polycarbonate housing, only 0.8 lb with stick adaptor.
- Flexible Power Options — Operates on 9V alkaline or rechargeable battery for field convenience.
- EMC-Protective Soft Case — Includes conductive lining for electromagnetic protection.
- Wide Operating Range — Performs reliably from -13°F to +131°F (-25°C to +55°C) and up to 96% humidity.
