The device is used to detect the presence or absence of voltage prior to working on a circuit. The red test probe is placed in contact with the "hot" wire and the black probe is placed in contact with the ground wire. If there is current, the neon bulb will glow and a solenoid will "buzz". The K-60 identifies both AC and DC current.

Can you use a Knopp K60 voltage tester for a light fixture?
If you are using this device to check to see if the circuit is energized or not, it will work fine. The voltage range on this tester can be used from 120 volts up to 600 volts AC and DC. At the 600 volt range the unit can be left on the line for only 10 seconds and then be not used again for five minutes to let the internal solenoid plunger coil cool down.
How do you check if light bulb base is good?
use a voltage tester to see if there is voltage at the base pin
Can a meggar tester be use to measure voltage standing wave ratio in a feeder cable?
No
How do you test battrey?
If you don't have a battery load tester, you'll have to use a digital multimeter to test for voltage and amperage.
How can i find out if the live wires i found in my wall are for a light switch or an outlet?
Use a voltage tester held next to the wire. Turn the switch off. If the tester stops beeping then the wires are on that switch.
How do you identify the hot wires if they are not white or black?
You can use either a volt meter and go from the line in question to ground and see if you have voltage. You can also get a non contact voltage tester which is what I would use and place it on the wire in question and it will beep if voltage is present.
How do you verify omh's law using multi tester?
if your looking for current (I) = voltage ./. resistance voltage (v) = current x resistance resistance (r) = voltage ./. current plug in your values calculate them then use meter to see if they match!
Can a voltage tester be used for precise voltage measurements?
Depends on the test instrument and the currents involved. I use a fairly inexpensive digital volt/ ohm meter, and it reads in 1/10 of a volt increments.
How do you use earth tester - megger?

What is the output voltage of an insulation tester which is required to test a 230v circuit?
On a hand crank megger which is used to test insulation breakdown, use the 300V setting. If the megger does not have that setting use 500V as opposed to 1000V for the test. The output of the megger is a DC voltage.
How can you tell if there is a bad connection between the battery and the alternator?
Use a vom meter, or battery tester and with the engine running voltage should be approximately 14.5 volts.
Can you use a 500V megger tester to test a 6.6KV motor?
You can, and you will get a reading if the leakage is within the operating parameters of the megger or there is a dead short in the windings. Most larger voltage motors need higher testing voltages. A hi-pot tester will deliver these higher voltages.
