This part of IEC 61243 is applicable to hand-held two-pole voltage detectors with its accessories (crocodile clips and detachable leads) to be used in contact with parts of electrical systems:<\/p>\n
for a.c. voltages not exceeding 1 000 V at nominal frequencies between 16 2 3 Hz and up to 500 Hz,<\/p>\n
and\/or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
for d.c. voltages not exceeding 1 500 V.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nNOTE The a.c. voltages defined in this standard refer either to phase-to-phase voltages or phase to neutral voltages.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Contact electrode extensions are not covered by this standard.<\/p>\n
Voltage detectors covered by this standard are intended to be used under dry and humid conditions, both indoor and outdoor. They are not intended to be used under rain conditions.<\/p>\n
Voltage detectors covered by this standard are not intended to be used for continuous operation.<\/p>\n
Voltage detectors covered by this standard are intended to be used up to 2 000 m above sea level.<\/p>\n
This standard also includes provisions for the following supplementary functions when available (see Annex B):<\/p>\n
\n
- \n
phase indication,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
rotating field indication, and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
continuity check.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Other supplementary functions are not covered by this standard.<\/p>\n
Voltage detectors covered by this standard are not considered as measuring devices. Relevant safety requirements for measuring devices are included in IEC 61010 series.<\/p>\n
