Martindale VI15000 Voltage Indicator
The Martindale VI15000 Voltage Indicator helps users check whether an electrical circuit is de-energised before maintenance or alteration work begins. It detects both AC and DC voltage from 50 V to 1000 V AC/DC rms. Five bright threshold LEDs show nominal levels of 50 V, 120 V, 230 V, 400 V and 690 V.
Automatic AC/DC detection and range selection make the tester straightforward to operate. It also identifies polarity and provides an indication in less than 0.1 seconds. As the instrument draws power from the circuit under test, users do not need to fit, check or replace batteries.
Built for regular site work, the Martindale VI15000 Voltage Indicator has heavy-duty, two-layer test leads with a contrasting inner sheath that makes wear or damage easier to see. Retractable probe shrouds support safer contact with test points, while Class II double insulation adds another protective barrier. The unit carries a CAT IV 1000 V rating and meets the stated BS EN 61243-3 and GS38 requirements.
Key Benefits
- Bright LED indicators make voltage levels easy to recognise in busy work areas.
- Automatic AC/DC selection reduces the number of settings users need to manage.
- Automatic range detection supports quick checks across the stated voltage range.
- A response time below 0.1 seconds provides a fast voltage indication.
- Polarity indication helps users identify the direction of a DC source.
- Self-powered operation removes the need for battery checks and replacement.
- Contrasting lead insulation helps users notice cuts and surface damage.
- Heavy-duty test leads support frequent use during electrical site work.
- Retractable probe shrouds reduce exposed metal while testing.
- Compact dimensions make the tester easy to carry between test locations.
Common Applications
Martindale VI15000 Voltage Indicator is suitable for a range of testing, maintenance and inspection tasks, including:
- Checking whether electrical circuits are de-energised
- Voltage checks before electrical maintenance begins
- Voltage checks before circuit alterations
- AC voltage indication on electrical installations
- DC voltage indication on electrical installations
- Identifying DC polarity during circuit checks
- Recognising common supply voltage thresholds
- Professional electrical work in demanding installation settings
Why Choose This Model?
The VI-15000 provides a higher maximum working voltage than the VI-13800, with a 1000 V DC and AC rms range instead of 600 V. It also adds five threshold levels of 50 V, 120 V, 230 V, 400 V and 690 V, together with a CAT IV 1000 V safety rating.
