Proves voltage indicator is working well

Now available from Martindale Electric is the portable PD700 Proving Device, designed for the testing of contact voltage detectors up to 700V.

With around 1000 electrical accidents at work reported to the HSE each year and 25 resulting in death, there are simple precautions that need to be taken when working with or near electricity. The most important consideration must be to ensure that all circuits and equipment which are being worked on are proved to be dead. While an obvious way to do this is to lock off a circuit and ensure no live source exists by means of a voltage indicator, how do you know your voltage indicator is performing correctly? A Proving Unit such as the PD700 from Martindale Electric offers a solution. It can generate high voltages to 700V but also lower voltages down to 50V which can still be potentially dangerous. Suitable for use with Drummond Test Lamps, Digital Multimeters and Low Impedance Voltage Testers to ensure they are working correctly, the PD700 also has an indicator which illuminates when lamps and voltage testers draw high currents.

Lightweight and compact, PD700 comes with batteries and carry case.
