Abstract:
A capacitive test point voltage and phasing detector comprising:a first detector member having a longitudinal extending first probe with a pointed upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper end is configured to engage with a first capacitive test point, a module positioned between the upper and the lower end of the first probe, a first universal adapter connected to the lower end of the first probe and a first non-conductive stick attached to the first universal adapter; a second detector member having a longitudinal extended second probe with an upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper end is configured to engage with a second capacitve test point, a probe jack mounted on said second probe, a second universal adapter connected to the lower end of the second probe and a second non-conductive stick attached to the second universal adapter; wherein the module is configured to sense the voltage at each capacitive test point and the phase angle difference between two capacitive test points independent of voltage values at the first and the second capacitive test points; and a lead wire having two ends connected between the first and the second detector member to provide an electrical communication between the first and the second detector member.
