Voltage detection probe and electrode mounting tool

A voltage detection probe comprising:

• an electrode configured to detect a voltage applied to a wire;
• and
• a clip portion freely attachable to and detachable from the wire,
• the clip portion having a fitting concave portion into which the wire is to be fitted, the clip portion being elastically deformable to widen an opening of the fitting concave portion,
• the clip portion being configured to retain, by an elastic force, the wire fitted through the opening into the fitting concave portion to cause the electrode to be disposed along an outer peripheral surface of the wire,
• the fitting concave portion having an inner surface having a shape of an arc with an arc length greater than a corresponding semicircle,
• the clip portion including an arc-shaped spring member with the electrode disposed on an inner side of the arc-shaped spring member,
• the electrode including a protruding piece folded toward an outer side of the arc-shaped spring member across an end of the arc-shaped spring member, and
• a distributing wire connected to the protruding piece being disposed on the outer side of the arc-shaped spring member.

An electrode mounting tool freely attachable to and detachable from a wire, the electrode mounting tool being configured to retain an electrode that is configured to detect a voltage applied to the wire, with the electrode being disposed along an outer peripheral surface of the wire, the electrode mounting tool comprising:

• a fitting concave portion configured to have the wire fitted therein;
• and
• a pair of guide pieces,
• the electrode mounting tool being elastically deformable to widen an opening of the fitting concave portion,
• the electrode mounting tool being configured to retain, by an elastic force, the wire fitted through the opening into the fitting concave portion to sandwich the electrode between an inner surface of the fitting concave portion and the wire,
• the pair of guide pieces extending obliquely outward, toward a front side of the opening and away from each other, from a pair of peripheral edges of an opening of the fitting concave portion opposed to each other, and
• a coefficient of friction of a surface of at least one of the guide pieces facing the opening being less than a coefficient of friction of an inner surface of the fitting concave portion.
