An electric field detector includes field detection circuitry configured to detect voltage in an electric field in an environment and configured to determine if the voltage meets or exceeds a voltage threshold. A warning module operably connected with the field detection circuitry is configured to provide a warning to operators in the environment. A communication module operably connected with the field detection circuitry communicates a warning notification to another electric field detector.

System and method for voltage detection and communication between electric field detectors

A system and method used to detect voltage by an electric field detector on equipment is provided. The equipment includes a component which is configured to come into direct contact with, or come into proximity of, a conductor of electricity, and a control system which is in operative communication with the component. An electric field detector is provided on the equipment. The detector includes field detection circuitry configured to detect a voltage in an electric field in the environment which meets or exceeds a voltage threshold. When an overvoltage is detected by the electric field detector, the control system of the equipment is configured to act by performing one of 1) activating a warning module on the equipment and 2) causing the component of the equipment to act.

System and method for voltage detection for equipment

A wearable electric field detector configured to be worn by a wearer in an environment includes inner and outer housings which are movable relative to each other between a closed position and an open position. When in the closed position, a body of the inner housing is concealed within the outer housing, and when in the open position, the body is partially visible to visually indicate that the detector is open. The detector includes field detection circuitry which is configured to detect voltage in an electric field in the environment around the wearer. The circuitry is in communication with at least one of a speaker and a light source which are configured to be activated by the field detection circuitry.
