Multi Range Voltage Detector Tester. To confirm that a line isde-energized prior to performing maintenance on it, the Multi-RangeVoltage Detector (MRVD) presents field practicality. Actually a fieldintensity meter, the MRVD is calibrated to read approximate line-to-line voltage when connected to any phase conductor. It responds tothe magnitude of the field gradient between its end probe and floating electrode (at the universal hotstick-attachment fitting).The MRVD gives metered readout capable of distinguishing actual line voltage from static or feedover from an adjacent line. Readingsfrom an MRVD can be compared with numerical certainty ratherthan the subjective judgments associated with fuzz-sticking orglow-detecting. Available in modes for various ranges, the MRVD mustbe mounted on proper length hotstick for the voltage class involved.Complete instructions are furnished with easy, illustrated step-by-step procedures.
