What is PD IEC/TR 61243-6‒ Non-contact voltage detectors about?

PD IEC/TR 61243-6 is an international standard that covers guidelines for voltage detectors for live working. PD IEC/TR 61243-6 is applicable to portable non-contact voltage detectors (NCVD) with a built-in power source. It is intended to use for indicating the presence or the absence of the operating voltage on electrical systems for nominal voltages above 1 kV AC and frequencies of 16 2/3 Hz, 50 Hz and/or 60 Hz. PD IEC/TR 61243-6 applies only to devices that are not designed to be in contact with the bare part of the installation, on which the presence or the absence of the operating voltage has to be tested. PD IEC/TR 61243-6 describes only devices, and their behaviour, using electric field and voltage gradient detection principles, even if other principles could be used. It provides performance guidelines, recommendations for use, and recommended minimum criteria for selection. Note 1: De...
