ANALOG-TYPE KILOVOLT PHASING TESTERS
Description
These analog-type kilovolt phasing testers (Cat. No. 514500-1, 514500-2,
514500-3, and 514500-4) consist of two insulated poles each equipped with
a removable contact antenna and a flexible insulated cable connecting the
two poles. See Figure 3.
The antennas include protection resistors and must be screwed onto the
pole ends before use. The antennas are not interchangeable. The detection
rod and its corresponding antenna each have a red identification dot. Make
sure that the antenna with the red dot is screwed onto the pole with the red
dot.
NOTE
This type of phasing detector cannot be used
for single pole voltage detection.
