CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A field-service technician needs a safe, battery-powered handheld tester to detect live AC wiring without making galvanic contact.
Key decisions
- Use a high-impedance capacitive probe input to avoid loading the circuit under test
- Use a charge-pump detector to produce a DC level proportional to field strength
- Use a resistive divider from the 9V battery to set three LED bar thresholds
When to reuse this
Any non-contact live-line verification, outlet testing, or cable tracing where direct contact is unsafe or impractical.
