This easy-to-operate, pen-sized voltage tester is designed for safe checking for the presence of an AC voltage - without the need to make any disconnections - for cables, power sockets, fuses, junction boxes, circuit breakers and more.

When the Volt Stick 230Y is presented in close proximity to a potential voltage source (ie. a cable, wire, socket, etc), the red LED indicator in the Volt Stick's tip will illuminate on detection of an AC voltage (within the range of 200~1000v AC).

The Volt Stick 230Y is effective for testing electrical connection points and insulated cables.

The video explains very well. The voltage test pen is still necessary. I bought a renhotecic brand test pen not long ago. The test is very convenient, accurate and safe. Family must.

Does it also work on not grounded cases?

Why does the volt stick go on and off on the flex and what does it mean when it gets closer to the live?
