• Introduction:
  
  • The TECPEL HVP-275 is a high voltage proximity detector.
  • It has eight voltage detection settings from 240Vac to
  • 275kVac. The HVP-275 consists of an internal pickup
  • sensor plate, a sensitivity selector, a visual and a
  • sound annunciator. With the HVP-275, physical contact
  • with electrical conductors is not necessary when
  • testing for live lines. This tester works by proximity.
  • Its sensor senses the radiated field which surrounds
  • live conductors. Radiated field strength increases
  • with voltage and decreases quickly with distance or
  • earth shielding. The radiated field from a cable of
  • closely bunched conductors supplied by three phase
  • power tends to cancel (See “Limitations of use”
  • paragraph). Detecting distance of a 250Vac single
  • live wire is approximately 10cm. With a bunched
  • neutral and earth cable, as in a flexible cable, the
  • distance is reduced to 5cm.
  • Some of the typical uses are : identify and check live
  • cables; find fault in flexible cables; check earth
  • equipment; service neon lightning; trace live wires;
  • check high frequency radiation; detect residual or
  • induced voltages. For example, faults in damaged
  • flexible cables are found by applying low voltage to
  • each conductor. Earthing the remainder and moving
  • the tester along the cable until the change in condition
  • is obtained. (Flexible cables which are used in mining
  • and building industries, are readily repairable when
  • the break in the cable is located.)
  • When testing for high voltage, the rotary switch
  • (attenuator) is used to identify and differentiate
  • various HV live cables. The tester must be used in
  • conjunction with a long and insulating rod when
  • measuring high voltage (kV). However, the HVP-275 is
  • a non-contact tester and it is advised that the tester
  • should never come into contact with cables (kV) as
  • this tester is merely a non-contact AC proximity tester.
  • Checking or proofing the tester is easy. Switch the
  • sensitivity to 240V and place the dome against a low
  • voltage live conductor or rub the dome with a cloth or
  • against an item of clothing as this generates a static
  • DC which triggers the detection of circuit. The light
  • and beeper should go “on” as if a live wire is being approached. Approaching the dome near a computer screen or a TV screen should also trigger
  • the tester while on the 240V selection. The power consumption of the 275HP is very low, and the
  • tester should always be tested as described above before using it.

• Limitation of usage.
  
  • Limitations of use :
  • It is recommended that the HVP-275 is not used in HV yards of mixed voltages.
  • In the presence of mixed voltages, the tester can become unreliable.
  • Problems can arise when the tertiary circuit of a 275/133/11kV transformer is
  • tested. The electric field of the HV and MV bus bars can trigger the detector when
  • it is about 3m above the ground. This is common with most of the electric field
  • voltage detectors, and the users should be aware of it. The tester can pick up
  • adjacent circuit to the one being tested and indicate the wrong information to the
  • user. Limitations of use :
