Designed for emergency rescue, linesmen, tree surgeons, electricians and trained personnel for the determination of “Live and Dead” situations in many fields for safety purposes and life threatening situations.
Since 1975, G.L McGavin has been the trusted name in high and low voltage testing equipment.
Designed for both industrial and residential environments, with common usage among electricians, technicians, fire and rescue professionals. The AC30 delivers fast, reliable detection when it matters most.
Fully trusted and Australian made. The AC30 is your companion that keeps you safe when working around electricity. It gives you a single tools that adapts to your job.
Electricians can instantly locate live wires behind walls, identify energised cables and trace live cable runs with confidence. All with no guess-work and no exposed testing.
Fire & Rescue personnel can immediately detect hidden voltages that put both officers and bystanders at risk. The AC30 is a critical safety check that helps crews work faster and safer when every second counts.
Safety starts before you even begin testing. The moment you switch the AC30 ON, it automatically runs a full self-test. This confirms every critical component is working correctly, before you rely on it in the field.
For maximum safety, we recommend running the self-test at regular intervals throughout the working day, to ensure that your tester never lets you down.
The self-test button on the front facing display lets you run a complete function check on demand, verifying:
