Ideal 61-065 Voltage Tester 100-600V Cat Iii

Product Description

The IDEAL 61-065 is a voltage tester designed for detecting AC and DC voltages from 100 volts to 600 volts. It uses a dual-display system combining LED and neon lamp indicators to give a clear visual confirmation of voltage presence. The tester is rated for CAT III 600 V service, making it appropriate for work on distribution panels, branch circuits, and industrial equipment. It runs on an LR44 battery and is rated for 60 Hz applications. Electricians and electrical maintenance technicians use this tool during troubleshooting, verification, and lockout/tagout confirmation procedures.

This tester is suited for commercial and industrial electrical work where CAT III overvoltage protection is required. Typical applications include verifying voltage at panel boards, motor control centers, and branch circuit wiring. The included shielded probe tips and test leads allow direct contact measurements at terminals, outlets, and wiring connections. The tester is compact enough for everyday use in a tool pouch and provides quick go/no-go voltage indication without requiring a digital readout.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and used by licensed electricians and qualified electrical maintenance personnel. Always follow NFPA 70E and local electrical codes when performing live voltage testing. De-energize and lock out circuits whenever possible before making contact measurements, and verify the tester is functioning on a known live source before and after use. Inspect probe tips and test leads for damage before each use and replace any worn or cracked insulation immediately.
