Voltage Testing for 3rd Rail Systems
A professional voltage tester designed for safe verification of voltage in third rail systems, such as metro and urban railway networks. Equipped with an extension and magnetic ground contact for safer operation at a distance.
Benefits:
- Enhanced safety – clear red/green LED indication for dangerous voltage
- Accurate measurement – precise voltage display from 10 V up to 1500 V DC / 1100 V AC
- Safe handling – extension (350–850 mm) and contact magnet increase working distance
- Robust design – IP65 rated for harsh environments and outdoor use
- Quick function check – integrated self-test ensures reliable operation before use
The voltage tester is specifically designed for railway systems with lateral power supply (3rd rail). Its two-pole design combined with an O-shaped electrode ensures secure contact with the conductor rail, while the fixed magnet enables fast and reliable grounding.
A large backlit LCD display together with LED indication ensures clear visibility, even in low-light conditions. The unit is built for professional use and complies with relevant standards for working on live electrical systems.
