Pertains to hand-held two-pole voltage detectors with their accessories (crocodile clips and detachable leads) to be used in contact with parts of electrical systems: - for a.c. voltages not exceeding 1000 V at nominal frequencies between 16 2/3 Hz and up to 500 Hz, and/or - for d.c. voltages not exceeding 1500 V.

This part of IEC61243 is applicable to hand-held two-pole voltage detectors with their accessories (crocodile clips and detachable leads) to be used in contact with parts of electrical systems: for a.c. voltages not exceeding 1000V at nominal frequencies between 162/3Hz and up to 500Hz, and/or for d.c. voltages not exceeding 1500V. NOTE The a.c. voltages defined in this standard refer either to phase-to-phase voltages or phase to neutral voltages. Contact electrode extensions are not covered by this standard. Voltage detectors covered by this standard are intended to be used under dry and humid conditions, both indoor and outdoor. They are not intended to be used under rain conditions. Voltage detectors covered by this standard are not intended to be used for continuous operation. Voltage detectors covered by this standard are intended to be used up to 2000m above sea level. This standard also includes provisions for the following supplementary functions when available (see AnnexB): phase indication, rotating field indication, and continuity check. Other supplementary functions are not covered by this standard. Voltage detectors covered by this standard are not considered as measuring devices. Relevant safety requirements for measuring devices are included in IEC61010 series.
