HVI Metrohm 11/66KV High Voltage Detector
 
The Metrohm High Voltage Detector (HVD) is an essential safety instrument used to determine whether high voltage systems are live or dead. Models are available covering a broad range of system voltages from 11kV up to 275kV. Built with rugged plastic moldings and PVC extrusions, these detectors offer excellent resistance to shock, drops, and vibrations, making them ideal for demanding field use.
 
Introduction
 
High Voltage Detectors (HVDs) are widely used throughout the electricity industry to verify that high voltage lines are de-energized before work commences. This critical step ensures the safety of personnel. Designed to comply with relevant IEC standards, these units provide reliable performance across various infrastructure requirements.
 
Operation & Features
 
HVDs are battery-operated electronic contact devices that provide clear, dual-status indication. The status of the line is signaled visually via super-bright LEDs and audibly through a high-intensity buzzer, ensuring visibility in direct sunlight and audibility in high-noise environments.
 
 
Customizable Thresholds: Activation settings can be configured in accordance with IEC standards or tailored to specific user requirements for multiple system voltages.
 
Self-Check Function: All detectors feature an integrated self-test facility to verify the unit is operational before and after use.
 
Durability: Engineered for the field with high-grade PVC and impact-resistant materials.
