Abstract :
Reliably detecting and measuring high voltage on distribution and transmission voltage power lines is vitally important to the jobs performed by electric utility linemen. These jobs get done more quickly and safely when the voltage detection and measurement equipment is also convenient and easy to use. The most convenient equipment is usually a single terminal device which operates without a direct connection to ground. These single terminal voltage detectors and indicators are now more reliable and more accurate thanks to advances in electric field measurement.
