Abstract
A voltage detecting probe includes a first shield with an insertion concave formed at a front end; a second shield that has a base end of the first shield inserted thereinto; and a detection electrode formed of a conductive cylindrical member, covered with an insulating covering, and housed inside the first shield. The first shield or detection electrode moves along an axis when an operation lever is moved. When the insulating covering on the front end contacts a measured wire inserted into the insertion concave, the detection electrode and wire become capacitively coupled. The operation lever includes a pillar portion inserted through a guide hole in the second shield and connected to the first shield or detection electrode. A third shield, which is attached to the pillar portion, moves with the operation lever, and shields the guide hole, is disposed inside and/or outside the second shield.
