Voltage monitor

The UPA Power Alert voltage monitor pre-verifies that an electrical panel is dead before it is opened. When installed on the panel exterior and hardwired to the circuit breaker or main disconnect, the device flashes to indicate live voltage (40VAC to 750VAC and 30VDC to 1,000VDC) within the panel. The LEDs extinguish once the disconnect is open or the stored voltage drops below the threshold. Fully encapsulated and engineered with redundant circuitry, the product is powered by the same voltage that it indicates. According to the company, it fits through standard push button and conduit knockouts in most electrical panels.
