Non contact voltage indicator - upgrade

[Boiler Repairs]

Might be worth looking at the Kentech duo but it only does 90-600V .

Looked at that, but wasn’t keen on the Voltage range

My Nemko EEx ib IIcT4 goes down to 19V

i have several of these sticks, best one is a sagem 230pro.it has a forked end so behind a switch, will only light on a live conductor in the notch. not picking up from the rest. caveat only used as a rough guide, not for safe isolation. dabbing a L to E does that perfeck.

There are some product recalls on Klein indicators:

I had just been looking at the Klein NCVT2 on the CEF web site as they actually appear to have them in stock!

 

[pc1966]

It seems the NCVT2 is being replaced by the NCVT2P which CEF don't have in stock. So at least normality has been restored there...

Mouser seems to be cheapest stockist but shipping might break that unless there are other bits needed.

For electricians looking to add a portable, non-contact voltage tester to their toolset, I strongly suggest the Klein NCVT-2 voltage detector pen. I obviously value this tester highly. Even if it's not a Klein NCVT 3, this is still a useful item to have.
