HVI Metrohm 132kV High Voltage Detector
 
The Metrohm 132kV High Voltage Detector (HVD) is a critical safety instrument used to determine whether high-voltage systems are live or dead. Part of a range covering system voltages from 11kV to 275kV, this unit is engineered with rugged plastic moldings and PVC extrusions to provide excellent resistance to shock, drops, and vibrations in the field.
 
Introduction
 
High Voltage Detectors (HVDs) are an industry standard across the electricity sector. They are used to verify that high-voltage lines are fully de-energized before maintenance or repair work begins, ensuring the absolute safety of personnel. These detectors are designed in strict compliance with relevant IEC standards.
 
Operation & Features
 
The HVD is a battery-operated electronic contact device that provides unmistakable status indications. Even in challenging environments, such as direct sunlight or high background noise, the device ensures clear communication of the line status:
 
 
Dual Indication: Features super-bright LEDs for visual signaling and a high-intensity buzzer for audible alerts.
 
Configurable Thresholds: Activation voltage settings can be set according to IEC standards or customized based on specific user requirements for various system voltages.
 
Integrated Self-Check: All units include a self-test facility, allowing operators to verify the unit's functionality both before and after use.
 
 
Standard Kit Components
 
Every HVD standard kit is housed in a purpose-built, ABS heavy-duty case for maximum protection and portability. The kit includes:
 
 
High Voltage Detector (HVD) unit
 
Contact electrodes (Y and Hook attachments)
 
Rod adaptor
 
Polymer cleaning kit
