Voltage detectors – DTCIER type – for MV power installations

The DTCIER 6-20 kV voltage detector is designed for checking the presence/absence of voltage by direct contact with conductive elements of medium voltage indoor and outdoor power installations, in dry weather conditions.

The DTCIER/P 6-35 kV voltage detector is designed for checking the presence/absence of voltage by direct contact with conductive elements of medium voltage indoor and outdoor power installations, in dry or wet weather conditions.

Voltage detectors – DTCIER type – have housings made of red transparent polycarbonate, a material with excellent mechanical and dielectric properties. On the lower part, the detector is completed with an “hexagon 12’’ rod, allowing its connection with an appropriate telescopic insulating sticks provided with hexagonal socket coupling system. Voltage detectors – DTCIER type – are in a permanent “stand-by” state.

The control panel includes:
– the test button for checking of electronic circuits;
– the acoustic signalling buzzer;
– four bright red LEDs;
– one high luminosity green LED.

Prior and after each use, voltage detectors DTCIER type must be functionally tested by pressing the test button, as this check includes the test of the electronic circuits and the appropriate charging level of the battery. The “ready for operation” period of detector is signaled by the green LED, for two minutes. 

After performing the operational test, the detector attached to an appropriate insulating stick is brought closer to the conductor until the detector’s electrode gets in contact with checked conductor. If the conductive element is live, the detector will indicate this by bright red flashing signals and high intensity acoustic intermittent signals (more than 90 dB (A)), both perceptible in unfavorable environmental conditions: noisy area and strong light.
