The High Voltage Contact Tester (HVCT1) is intended to provide added safety to crew members required to work on
overhead distribution lines. The HVCT1 detects voltage between 5kV AC and 36kV AC. When used properly, the detector
provides visual and audible warning signals of energized conductors.
Always follow approved industry, OSHA and company work practices & safety procedures when working on or near
high-voltage systems.
