Contact probes, PA 01 type, are used together with low voltage multitesters (bipolar detectors) for the remote and safe inspection of the presence/absence of voltage on low voltage overhead lines (with bare conductors) or in indoor or outdoor (street level) distribution boxes.
These probes are made of insulating tubes provided at one end with the contact electrode and at the other end with the handle. The contact probes provide IP 20 protection class.
Given their shape, contact electrodes allow the hanging of the probes on overhead lines conductors and permanent hold of the detector in contact, throughout the entire work period, as long as the installation is de-energised.
