CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester

CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester detects AC voltages from 50V to 1000V without direct contact. Engineers can use it to identify potentially live metallic surfaces, pipework and cables while avoiding contact with the conductor. Its 50V detection level also helps users find unexpected or spurious live voltages in materials, devices and work areas.

Engineers can use the tester in hazardous and potentially explosive atmospheres thanks to its ATEX and IECEx intrinsic safety approvals. The fully insulated construction supports safe handling, while the safety handguard helps users avoid unintended contact with live conductors. The tester responds immediately when it detects voltage under the stated sensitivity conditions.

CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester suits engineers working across utilities, infrastructure, gas and petrochemical applications. Organisations including Shell, Network Rail and Cadent approve the LV50 for use, while National Grid specifies it for use by engineers. The tester combines non-contact voltage detection with CAT IV 1000V AC approval, IP64 ingress protection and a compact 0.04kg design.

 

Key Benefits
  • Non-contact operation allows AC voltage checks without direct contact with the conductor.
  • Detection from 50V AC helps identify lower-voltage, unexpected and spurious live voltages.
  • ATEX and IECEx approval supports work in hazardous and potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • Immediate response gives engineers a fast indication when voltage is detected.
  • The safety handguard helps reduce accidental contact with live conductors during use.
  • Fully insulated construction supports safer handling during electrical checks.
  • CAT IV 1000V AC approval supports use in demanding electrical environments.
  • IP64 ingress protection supports use in field and industrial environments.
  • Two standard AAA alkaline batteries provide a simple replaceable power source.

 

Common Applications

CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester is suitable for a range of testing, maintenance and inspection tasks, including:

  • Checking metallic surfaces for potentially live AC voltage.
  • Checking pipework for unexpected or spurious live voltage.
  • Non-contact voltage checking on cables.
  • Low-voltage and industrial AC voltage detection from 50V.
  • Electrical checks in hazardous and potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • Field engineering work for utility and infrastructure providers.
  • Voltage checking in gas industry applications.
  • Voltage checking in petrochemical applications.

 

Why Choose This Model?

CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester combines a 50 to 1000V AC detection range with non-contact operation, intrinsic safety and ATEX and IECEx approval. Its CAT IV 1000V AC rating, IP64 protection, safety handguard and fully insulated construction make it well suited to hazardous-area field work.

CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester

CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester is a non-contact voltage indicator designed to detect AC voltages from 50V to 1000V. It enables engineers to identify potentially live metallic surfaces, pipework and cables without direct contact with the conductor. Detection down to 50V AC also helps identify unexpected or spurious live voltages in materials, devices and work areas.

Designed for hazardous and potentially explosive atmospheres, the tester is ATEX and IECEx approved as intrinsically safe. Its fully insulated construction supports safe handling, while the safety handguard helps prevent unintended contact with live conductors. An immediate response provides fast indication when voltage is detected under the stated sensitivity conditions.

CIE LV50 50v AC Non-contact Voltage Tester is suited to engineers working across utilities, infrastructure, gas and petrochemical applications.
