AEMC NC-1 AC Non-Contact Voltage Detector, 240V AC Voltage

The AEMC Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector NC-1 is a pen-style detector with a pocket clip, voltage sensitivity of 100 to 240VAC, and frequency of 50/60Hz, for checking electrical voltage in outlets and elsewhere. A flashing light and audible warning indicate the presence of AC voltage. The detector takes two 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries (included). It is for indoor use and in accordance with over voltage 600V Category III, Pollution Degree 2.

Voltage testers detect electrical current in cables, cords, circuit breakers, switches, wiring, and other components of electrical systems. They can test for live circuits, proper grounding, adequate voltage, and flowing current. They might be used by homeowners to test electrical outlets or by linemen to test power lines. Available in a variety of styles and levels of sophistication, some models simply indicate the presence of electrical current, while others record or display the level of voltage conducted. Some have additional capability such as the ability to perform continuity tests.

AEMC Instruments manufactures electrical testing and measurement instruments, including clamp meters, power quality analyzers, ground resistance testers, and data loggers. The company, founded in 1893, is headquartered in Foxborough, MA.
