Voltage Testers

Hoegert offers a wide range of voltage testers, including circuit testers, electrical testers, and induction voltage testers. This versatile tool is required in various environments (household or professional) to ensure accuracy and safety against electric current. 

What is a voltage tester?

A voltage tester is used for measuring the flow of electrical current. The tool helps confirm that circuits are de-energized before starting any electrical installation or repair work. 

Voltage testers are also straightforward to use. They feature a small neon bulb with two insulated wires attached to the bulb housing. Simply bring the tester near the wire or terminal, and it will indicate whether it has live voltage.

What is an Induction voltage tester?

An induction voltage tester allows users to check voltage without making direct contact with the live conductor. This non-contact method of detecting voltage eliminates any potential risk of electrical shock while improving user safety at the same time. This tool is particularly useful when working in hazardous electrical environments or harder-to-reach areas.

At Hoegert, we offer the best-quality inductive voltage testers that allow non-contact voltage checking. Just bring the probe near the cable, and the tool will detect the current using the inductive method, signaling it with a diode light and a buzzer. In addition, the inductive tester lets you check the cable’s continuity and indicates whether it was interrupted.

Hoegert’s induction voltage tester also features a built-in flashlight, which makes it helpful to work in the dark and at night. The tester’s 2-range sensitivity control allows the detection of live cables in walls.

Continuity tester vs a circuit tester

A continuity tester only consists of a battery in the housing cover that features a probing test wire. Its current is switched off to determine if an electrical appliance is holding a fluent current flow within the tester’s body.

When it comes to usage, there is little difference between a voltage tester and a continuity tester. Their prices also differ as continuity testers are far pricier than voltage testers. However, you can easily find both types of testers at Hoegert’s online store.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an outlet tester?

An outlet tester is used for checking the wiring of electrical outlets. The device helps assess whether an outlet is wired properly and has proper grounding to identify issues like open ground, reverse polarity, or open hot. Simply plug the outlet tester into the outlet, and it displays the status of the outlet wiring.

Can you use a circuit tester to test the wires?

Yes. You can use a circuit tester to test wires. The tool can help determine whether a wire is carrying current and check the integrity of the wire’s connection. So, a circuit tester is essential for diagnosing electrical faults and ensuring the adequate functioning of electrical systems.

Why do you need circuit testing?

As mentioned above, circuit testing ensures the safety and functionality of electrical systems. This critical tool helps identify electric faults, verify the integrity of electrical components, and assure compliance with electrical codes. It also helps prevent the risk of electric shocks and fires. So, regular circuit testing and voltage testing are important.
