BD-10ASV Generator with British Plug, 230V

Model Introduction: Generates a spark at a high voltage and frequency, used to detect pinholes and vacuum leaks, and in the classroom to light spectrum tubes and florescent lamps. It is lightweight, self-contained hand held, with a momentary switch on the side to control the high voltage output. For light duty, intermittent use. Not to be operated for more than 10 minutes at a time, with a cool down period to follow. Key Features and Operating Characteristics: It is made of durable plastic, with an 8 ft. cord. It has a control knob on the high voltage handle to adjust the output voltage. Features a spring-loaded switch on the side, when pressed in, allows the high voltage to be energized. When the switch is depressed, it de-energizes the high voltage coil. But power is still applied to the unit regardless of the switch position. The electrode used provides safety by using a spacer to isolate power line voltage in the event of a internal short-circuit with the device. Output voltage is adjustable from 20,000 to 50,000 Output frequency is 500 kHz. Output current is approximately 0.1 mA maximum.
