A Digital Voltage Detector compliant with EN 61010-1 is a safety-rated electrical testing device used to detect the presence of AC/DC voltage without direct contact (non-contact) or via direct probing.



Key Features & Compliance:




  1. EN 61010-1 Certification





    • Ensures safety for electrical measurement, control, and laboratory use (CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV ratings apply).




    • Covers protection against electric shock, mechanical hazards, and environmental conditions.






  2. Voltage Detection Capabilities





    • Non-contact (NCV): Detects live wires through insulation (typically 50–1000V AC).




    • Direct-contact: Some models measure exact voltage (e.g., 12–1000V AC/DC) via probes.




    • Visual/Audible Alarms: LED lights, beeper, or LCD display for voltage indication.






  3. Safety Ratings





    • Overvoltage Category: CAT III (distribution circuits) or CAT IV (utility/service entrance) common for industrial use.




    • Insulation & Protection: Double insulation, IP-rated housing (e.g., IP64 for dust/water resistance).






  4. Additional Standards





    • RoHS/REACH: Free of hazardous substances.




    • IEC 61243-3: For phase comparators (if applicable).






Example Products




  • Fluke 1AC II Non-Contact Voltage Tester (CAT IV 1000V)
