Abstract: A stray voltage detector has a portable housing carrying a pair of electrostatic charge sensors spaced apart along an axis, and a pair of field intensity indicators, each indicator connected to an associated one of the charge sensors and constructed to indicate a relative electric field intensity at its associated sensor. The voltage detector is constructed to provide simultaneous electric field intensity feedback from both indicators to an operator moving the housing along the axis over a surface with a localized region at an elevated voltage, to assist in locating the localized elevated voltage region. The detector is useful for locating high-voltage regions, even when there is little or no current flowing through such regions to generate a magnetic field.

Abstract: Apparatus for measuring the number of turns on a toroidal coil includes a conductive member adapted to receive the coil to be tested; circuitry for energizing the coil to be tested including an oscillator and coupler circuitry connected in circuit between the oscillator and the coil energizing terminals; and circuitry connected to the conductive member including a comparator having first and second inputs and an output. Circuitry responsive to the connection of the conductor member in circuit applies a reference voltage signal to a first input of the comparator; circuitry responsive to the voltage induced in the conductive member by the energized toroidal coil to be tested applies a signal proportional to the induced voltage to the second input of the comparator; and circuitry responsive to the output of the comparator stabilizes the voltage applied from the oscillator to the toroidal coil when the input signals to the comparator are equal.
