The DC3600BP, Bi Polar Voltage detector is so named because of its second probe or pole that allows for the detection of DC voltages as well as AC. Detection of DC voltages is not possible with a conventional capacitive detector as the steady, unchanging electric field cannot be detected by a single pole field-effect device.
THE DC3600BP has a nominal AC voltage range of 500-3600VAC but has supplemental detection features that allow the safe and reliable indication of AC and DC voltages up to 36kV.
This makes it particularly useful for rail-side work where there may be signalling, 3rd rail and overhead line sources all present in the immediate area.
There is a remote handset (DC3600M) optionally available to go with the device that works wirelessly to indicate the voltage currently being measure by the BP probe.
Both devices are also available together as a kit, the DC3600BPM
