In terms of its measurement range - up to 33kV - this is the highest specification HV potential indicator available in Seaward's KD1E range.
Suitable for use on both AC/DC systems, this instrument gives the user quick and easy indication of votlage presence on high voltage systems such as vertical and horizontal switchgear. It is easy to use, features a built-in earthing cable and hand guard for safety purposes and comes with a built-in domed electrode for connection to a measurement point.
This tester uses neon indication to show the presence of potential.
The Seaward KD1E is available in several different variations. Use this handy comparison chart to pick exactly which one you need for your application.
