Extech Non-Contact AC Voltage and Current Detector
Description
The Extech Non-Contact AC Voltage and Current Detector pinpoints wide range voltage and current with sensitivity adjustement.
Features
- Non-Contact AC current detection from 200mA to 1000A
- Non-Contact AC voltage detection from 12V to 600VAC
- Loud audible and bright visible sense detect indicators
Details
The Extech Non-Contact AC Voltage and Current Detector is a two-in-one current/voltage detector designed for electrical testing. The detector measures non-contact AC current from 200mA to 1000A and non-contact AC voltage from 12V to 600VAC. The sensitivity adjustments are to increase or reduce sensor trigger threshold. A loud audible and bright visible indicator will alert users if a current or voltage is detected. The curent sensor detects current flow of 400mA at 0.2" distance and at much greater distances for larger current flows.
Applications include detecting trace concelead wires in walls and floors, identifying hot spots, tracing current flow behind walls, in conduit, where voltage detection does not work, and tripping on low voltage HVAC or similar signal levels.

- Weight: 2.1oz (60g)
- (1) Detector
- (4) LR44 Button batteries

Acid Rain Data Helping Scientists Tackle Water Quality Issues
Since the 1980s, scientists from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VT DEC) have been sampling water from acid-impaired ponds and lakes and tracking data related to acidity. The line of inquiry began in response to concerns about acid rain, but DEC scientists now find that the long-term monitoring is not only proving the efficacy of the Clean Air Act but also improving local water quality. Guarding the environment in Vermont Rebecca Harvey is a VT DEC scientist, and monitoring the state's waterways for acidity and other problems falls in part to her. Dr. Harvey corresponded with EM about this work.

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment
In the ongoing quest for better wastewater treatment, a team of researchers from the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have developed a technique to improve the way Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) remove pollutants from wastewater dramatically. AOPs remove organic materials from water using oxidation. These AOP reactions take place when hydrogen peroxide, a powerful oxidizing agent, decomposes, leaving hydroxyl radicals along with oxygen and water behind. This makes the processes appealing, but until now they've required both a long period of time and large amounts of both hydrogen peroxide and ferrous salt (Fe2+, a divalent iron ion). The Fe2+ acts like a catalyst, but also produces a secondary pollutant in the form of an iron-containing sludge.

Bacterium Breaks Down Ammonium in Sewage and Runoff Without Oxygen
Wetlands are one of nature's plans for treating water. Home to a host of different microbes, riparian wetland soils play matchmaker to nutrient-rich runoff and bacteria that feast on nutrients and other environmental toxins. Princeton University researchers have discovered one such bacterium—Acidimicrobiaceae bacterium A6—that can break down ammonium, part of both fertilizer and sewage runoff, without oxygen. This ability could mean wastewater treatment without expensive aeration machinery. Peter Jaffé , Princeton's William L. Knapp '47 Professor of Civil Engineering and a professor at Princeton's Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment , corresponded with EM about the latest research . Dr. Jaffé and his team first published on A6 in 2015.
