Stray Voltage Detector
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe purpose of this project is to design and create a hand-held device that can detect stray voltage sources from a distance of a few meters away. The detector consists of a directional antenna, an analog signal processing circuit powered by a 9V battery, and a grounded shield to eliminate parasitic sources. The device is configured to detect electrified sources at 60Hz and the signal strength is shown through an LED bar display driven by a digital A/D circuit.
