Abstract:
1. A high voltage detection device configured with verbal communication comprising: a probe comprising an elongate insulated shield having a handle portion with an electrode for sensing a high voltage electrical line extending from a distal end of the shield; an elongate extension pole connectable to the insulated shield the extension pole being of a select length to position the probe proximate the high voltage electrical line; and a meter comprising a housing secured to the handle portion and enclosing a control for measuring parameters of line voltage, the control comprising an input module for connection to the probe to develop a voltage signal, a signal processing module receiving the voltage signal and determining parameters of line voltage and driving an audio module, the audio module providing an audio output announcing the determined parameters of line voltage with a verbal announcement using a predefined voice pattern with the probe proximate the high voltage electrical line at a distance, approximately the select length of the pole, from a user.
