Abstract: A wearable electric field detector is configured to detect an electric field generated by a high-voltage electrical source in an environment, and includes a first antenna, a second antenna, an electrical circuit board operatively coupled to the first antenna and the second antenna, a power source coupled to the circuit board, and a plurality of indicators operatively coupled to the circuit board. The first antenna and second antenna are mounted perpendicular to the circuit board. The detector provides an alert to the user indicative of a strength of a detected electric field. An enclosure houses the first antenna, the second antenna, the circuit board, the power source, and the indicators. The enclosure may be worn by the user in a vertical orientation, a horizontal orientation, and in an orientation disposed between the vertical orientation and the horizontal orientation.
