The HIOKI 3481-20 is a non-contact AC voltage detector that confirms the presence of live voltage from 100 V to 600 V without direct conductor contact. Passive design — no battery required.
The HIOKI 3481-20 voltage detector is a first-line safety tool for electrical technicians and engineers. Before working on any conductor, cable, or wiring installation, confirming whether a circuit is live or dead is a critical step in electrical safety practice. The 3481-20 detects AC voltage between 100 V and 600 V without any physical conductor contact, providing both audible and visual (LED) alerts when voltage is present.
Its passive design draws power from the detected voltage field, eliminating the need for batteries and ensuring the detector is always ready for use. The pen-type form factor fits comfortably in a shirt pocket alongside other electrical test instruments, making it a practical everyday safety companion for electricians and maintenance engineers.
