Reminder about NCV tick tacers

[brother]

Just a reminder to fellow electricians about the fluke (90 to 1000 volt version) . Remember that the threshold is 50 v for sensitivity to humans. I use a gb brand ncv that starts at 50 v to 1000.

I know they sell the low voltage types of flukes ncv, but they are not really practicle in commecial real world. And I know others will say they use their other meters, I have other meters too, but I still depend on the ncv gb brand, and it works pretty well.

And with all tools, you have to remember their limitations. There are conditions where a non contact voltage tester will give you a false negative.

For a Company that always seems to have top of the line tools I have wondered why they have that voltage range. I have had several of the GB style but they must keep falling out of my pocket because all I can ever seem to lay my hands on is the Fluke.

The only tick tracer I have ever liked is the Greenlee. I think it's a GT-11.

The others are squirrelly at best, compared to the Greenlee.
