ABSTRACT:
GR-3179 presents proposed generic requirements applicable to foreign voltage detectors. The purpose of the foreign voltage detector is to provide advance warning on extremely hazardous voltages.

GR-3179 includes:

• General requirements for construction safety, marking, hazardous voltage, packing and shipping, quality assurance, product design, powering, self-inspection and grounding
• Electrical requirements for dielectric withstand, flammability and meeting of FCC criteria
• Environmental requirements for vibration; salt fog; water, ultraviolet, fungus, and chemical resistance; high-temperature storage; and temperature cycling
• Operational tests.
