This is an electrostatic polarity detector with increased sensitivity.
This device makes it possible to investigate the polarity of the high voltage.
RED LED = Positive, BLUE LED = Negative, Both LED = Alternating Voltage
On the HVDC line, only one LED will be on.
How to make an Electrostatic Polarity Detector :
Jun 7, 2017 This is a simple Electrostatic Polarity Detector(Electric Field Detector) made of FDS8958A Chip.
This chip(FDS8958A) contains N- and P- Channel Enhancement mode power field effect transistors.
Old Version : Using 9V battery.
New Version : Using 3V battery.
The circuit diagram appears on the video. 07:13
IRF 7317 is replacement part for FDS8958A - Thomas Kim 2017
