Overview
This standard is applicable for portable voltage detectors with or without built-in power sources, to be used on electrical systems for voltages of 1 kV to 765 kV AC, and for frequencies of 50 Hz and/or 60 Hz. It is only applicable to voltage detectors of capacitive type used in contact with the installation parts to be tested, as a complete device including its insulating element or as a separate device, supplemented by an insulating rod which, as an individual part, is not covered by this standard. The responsible Committee is Subcommittee UK 214.4 "Ausrüstung und Geräte zum Arbeiten unter Spannung; Prüfgeräte, Isolierstangen und Vorrichtungen zum Erden und Kurzschließen" ("Equipment and devices for live working; test apparatus, insulating rods and devices for grounding and short circuiting") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Informational Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
