Martindale Electric announces the release of the essential safety aid for the working electrician, the VIPD proving package.

The correct method for proving a voltage indicator (shown above) is just like using a PAT tester to check an appliance. Visual test first, then electrical test and flex the leads while testing continuity.

Remember, nothing is more dangerous than trusting a defective voltage indicator to test for a dead circuit. Safe electrical work requires the use of a voltage indicator that has been proved with a proving unit. Voltage indicators should always be tested with a proving unit or known live source before and after use.

The Martindale VIPD proving package contains the PD690 proving unit, VI13700G voltage indicator and FREE carry case worth £17.50 and is available now at £119.65 from all good wholesalers. For further information, visit www.martindale-electric.co.uk or call 01923 650688.
