Non-Contact Voltage Tester Voltage Detector And Led Flashlight Pen Style FLULVD2

Best Non-Contact Voltage Tester
Electrical
The best non-contact voltage tester is reliable, safe, and easy to use. Using a non-contact voltage tester is the quickest and simplest way to check if voltage is present before putting yourself at risk.

The things to look for in the ideal non-contact voltage tester depend on your specific use case. Pay attention to the range of voltage detected, whether it will detect dual voltage, or both standard and low voltage, and the features. If you work in a noisy environment, the beep on detection may not be as important as an obvious light-up. If you often work in dark spaces, make sure you look for a voltage tester with an included light so you can see your work environment. Plus, keep value in mind when looking at non-contact voltage tester prices and remember that best price doesn’t necessarily equal best value.

Are non-contact voltage testers safe?
Safety should be a concern when selecting a non-contact voltage tester. Factors that make up a safe, reliable voltage detector include the sensitivity and safety rating. They’re not all equally sensitive, so some can sense small levels of voltage that others won’t be able to detect. Double check the specs on the tester you’re using now, don’t assume it’s the same as ones you’ve used in the past.

Some non-contact voltage testers are safety rated. Ensure that the voltage detector you are using is appropriately rated for the measurement environment you're working in and is within the voltage range you're testing. For industrial environments, that generally means CAT III or CAT IV.

Some non-contact voltage testers can show a false positive or negative if:

• They are not built from quality components
• The insulated test point touches grounded metal
• The cable being tested is partially buried
• The user is isolated from ground
• The tester is used inside a metal enclosure
• The cable is shielded
• The battery is dead
