Introduction
Industrial circuitry or devices are incomplete without a proper safety structure. Without safety, they may cause problems for the entire system as well as for the environment. Electric field detectors are one of those circuits that ensures the safety of devices. This detector is basically a test measurement device that is used to detect problems in electrical wiring and power lines. This apparatus can track the variations that occur in the electromagnetic field over a convincing period.
A Static Electric field strength detector or just an Electric field detector is an electronic device capable of sensing any static electrical field within its vicinity. In this tutorial, we will look into making an Electric Field Detector using CD40117BE IC

Electric Field Detector Circuit
Working Explanation
The electric field detector circuit detects problems in the electromagnetic field by the significant changes in the quantity of electric energy that flows in the field. The circuit uses the highly sensitive components which are part of the system of this measurement circuit. Corresponding to the fluctuations that occur in the quantity of electric energy, the detector specifies existent issues in the work of the electrical wiring and power lines through the LEDs wired in the circuit. This circuit can prevent the environment from bigger problems and it can help to ensure proper workflow in the manufacturing sites or industries.
