Single-Transistor Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector
Drawing preview
シナリオ

A battery-powered pen detects live AC wires without metallic contact. The antenna picks up the electric field; C1 couples the signal to the base of Q1, which switches on and lights the lamp L1 when AC voltage is present.

この図に含まれるもの

図の背後にある意思決定を読み解く。

01

Use a single NPN transistor Q1 as a high-gain switch driven by the antenna signal.

02

Add high-value resistors R1 and R4 to provide a DC path and set sensitivity; R1 can be made a 1M potentiometer for adjustable threshold.

03

Power the circuit from a 9V battery and include C2 for supply decoupling.

Use for DIY non-contact voltage testers, educational transistor circuits, or low-cost mains detection pens.
