Non-Contact Voltage Detector Watch

This document summarizes a student project to create a non-contact voltage detector watch. It begins with an abstract explaining the dangers of mains power and the purpose of creating a voltage detector that does not require contact. It then lists the hardware components used and provides photos of the completed watch. The working principle is described, involving using transistors to detect varying magnetic fields produced by alternating current. Circuit diagrams and test results are also included, along with a conclusion that the watch can safely detect voltages and a cost breakdown.

Abstract
1|Page
Working with AC Mains supply is not so easy , as it
even cause damage and injury and even cause
death. To solve this issue , we created a voltage
detector watch.
Voltage Testers are devices that detects and
indicates presence of voltage in power cables,
electrical cords, lighting fixtures, circuit breakers,
wires, power outlets etc. A Non Contact Voltage
Tester Watch, as the name suggests, is a voltage
detector device that doesn’t need any contact with
cables, cords or outlets.

In this project, I have designed a simple battery

powered Non Contact Voltage Tester Circuit that can
be used to verify the presence of voltage near all the
above mentioned places.

WORKING PRINCIPLE AND OPERATION
NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE DETECTOR WATCH:
Any current carrying conductor produces a small
magnetic field around it and the type of magnetic field
depends on the type of current passing through the
conductor. For example, if AC (alternating current) is
flowing through the conductor, then the magnetic field
around the conductor also varies periodically.The
principle of this circuit is to detect this varying magnetic
field and indicate whether voltage is present or not.

In order to detect the voltages, I will be using three NPN

Transistors. Depending on the amount of base current,
the collector – to – emitter current is determined in a
transistor. The ratio of collector – emitter current to base
current is known as Gain and in case of 2N3904 (which
is the transistor used in this project), this value is
approximately 200.If the output of one transistor is
connected to base of the next transistor, the net gain is
the product of individual gains.Similarly, if we add
another transistor, the total gain is gain of single
transistor raised to the power of 3 (200x200x200).
