Greenlee Digital Voltage Indicator 100kV, OH/UG Kit 1

Description

Reading transmission and distribution line potentials up to 99.9 kilovolts, the Greenlee DVI-100 100kV Voltage Indicator verifies de-energized line conditions for utility crews. This digital instrument detects overhead and underground conductor voltages. It requires mounting on a fiberglass hot stick, demanding strict lineman safety clearances during live line testing procedures.

High-dielectric polymer constructs the compact indicator housing, fitted with an oversized red LED digital display and universal splined hot stick fitting. A single standard nine-volt alkaline battery powers the solid-state digital measurement circuits, measuring AC voltage from 0.1kV up to 99.9kV. Total dry tool weight measures 1.5 lbs with battery installed. Dimensions measure 10 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and 3.5 inches deep for bucket carry.

Key Features of Greenlee DVI-100

Linemen buy Greenlee DVI-100 kits to confirm line de-energization before applying grounding clusters on overhead distribution feeders. Pricing delivers contact voltage display, overhead hooks, and an underground probe in a padded case.

• Large two-digit red LED screens display line-to-ground AC voltage from 0.1kV up to 99.9kV in daylight.
• Direct contact sensing confirms actual conductor voltage without relying on ambiguous non-contact field proximity.
• Auto-ranging digital circuits eliminate manual dial selection while measuring distribution and sub-transmission lines.
• Universal splined brass fittings mount directly onto standard lineman fiberglass hot sticks and shotgun sticks.
• Audible warning buzzers sound distinct tones whenever voltage above one hundred volts is detected on lines.
• Included overhead hook probes and underground bushing probes adapt to conductors and pad-mount gear.
• Weatherproof housing seals resist driving rain, snow, and bucket truck dirt during storm restoration work.

High Voltage Indicator Bench Metrics

High-voltage laboratory bench testing under calibrated AC test potentials confirms voltage measurement accuracy within three percent from 1.0kV to 99.9kV. The internal resistive divider network withstands 100kV continuous flashover testing for five minutes with zero dielectric breakdown. The audible buzzer and red LED display activate within thirty milliseconds of probe contact with energized busbars above 100 volts. Low-battery monitoring circuits trigger a flashing display when battery voltage drops below seven volts, preventing inaccurate field readings.

Linework Usability Realities Maintenance

Attaching this 1.5 lb indicator to a fiberglass hot stick takes one worker tightening the universal splined thumb nut. Touching the probe hook to conductor lines gives immediate numeric voltage display. Do not buy this high-voltage indicator for low-voltage residential branch panels under 100V, uninsulated bare-hand contact, or DC railway lines.

• Wipe the polymer housing and probe attachments with silicone dielectric wipes before every shift.
• Test the instrument on an energized known source or proof tester before and after each line test.
• Replace the internal nine-volt alkaline battery whenever the low-battery indicator flashes on the LED display.

Factory Warranty Manifest Inclusions

Greenlee covers this digital voltage indicator with a 1-Year limited manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and electronic components. The padded carrying case contains the DVI-100 indicator, overhead hook probe, underground bushing probe, nine-volt battery, and an illustrated utility electrical safety operations manual.
