Voltage Sticks Calibration
Calibrationhouse ensures voltage sticks provide reliable non-contact voltage detection, maintaining safety and accuracy for electrical testing and maintenance.
What is a voltage stick used for?
A voltage stick, also known as a voltage indicator or detector, is a non-contact voltage tester that provides a real-time indication of voltage presence in cables, circuits, and power sockets. These tools are safety-critical and widely used by electrical contractors to verify live circuits before maintenance or repairs.
How does a voltage stick work?
Voltage sticks are compact, pen-sized instruments that provide a visual or audible alert when voltage is detected. Unlike traditional multimeters, they do not measure voltage but instead confirm its presence in an electrical system.
Why is calibration important for voltage sticks?
While voltage sticks do not measure exact voltage levels, they still require regular external calibration to ensure correct operation. Many users rely solely on a voltage proving unit for verification, but this should be used in addition to annual calibration, not as a substitute. If the proving unit itself is faulty, it could lead to incorrect voltage indication and potential safety risks.
Can Calibrationhouse calibrate voltage proving units as well?
Yes, Calibrationhouse provides calibration or verification of voltage sticks and proving units as a pair to ensure both tools are functioning accurately.
Does Calibrationhouse offer on-site calibration for voltage sticks?
Yes, on-site calibration services are available across the UK, allowing businesses to verify their voltage sticks without sending them away. Alternatively, customers can use our rapid turnaround laboratory-based service for off-site calibration.
For customers in the United States, voltage stick calibration is also available at our Tampa facility, ensuring compliance with BSI ISO9001-certified standards.
