What is BS EN IEC 61243‑1 about?
BS EN IEC 61243‑1 discusses about Voltage detectors. BS EN IEC 61243‑1 is applicable to portable voltage detectors, with or without built-in power sources, to be used on electrical systems for voltages of 1 kV to 800 kV AC, and frequencies of 50 Hz and/or 60 Hz.
All the voltages defined in BS EN IEC 61243‑1 refer to values of phase-to-phase voltages of three-phase systems. In other systems, the applicable phase-to-phase or phase-to-earth(ground) voltages are used to determine the operating voltages.
Note 1: BS EN IEC 61243‑1 has been prepared for according to the requirements of IEC 61477, where applicable.
Note 2: does not cover the voltage detectors as a complete device including its insulating element or as a separate device, adaptable to an insulating stick which, as a separate tool.
