How to Make an AC Line Detector

AC line detector is a device which detects AC line currents without making any electrical connections to the line.

An easy to make circuit to identify the line and the neutral of an AC circuit, without making contact with the wires.

Now I am going to instruct how to make an AC line detector with less number of components.

Lets Get Started..

9v Battery with Battery Snap - 1 [Banggood ]

LED - 1 [Banggood]

Transistor 2N3704 - 3 [Banggood ]

Resistors [ Banggood]

1MOhm - 1

100kOhm -1

330Ohm - 1

220Ohm - 1

Switch - 1 [ Banggood ]

Aluminium or Copper solid thin wire - 5cm

Copper Clad PCB - 1 [Banggood ]

I attached the PCB layout ,you can etch the pcb .

You can download complete pcb schematic here [ Download ]
