Talk about a handy little gadget. A voltage detector signals the presence of voltage without connection to conductors. Many manufacturers produce this item. Hold it near any surface to determine if there is a voltage presence. It is sort of like a Star Trek appliance. Time was when a Tic Tracer had a cost of $50. Now the voltage detector is less than $10.

Here are specifications of an example of this item. SOURCE

Product Capabilities

The Fluke Networks Voltage Detector is an easy-to-use handheld probe designed to help protect field technicians against accidental electrical shock in the outside plant environment. It detects AC and DC voltages through a long-life carbide tip. The user simply touches the tip to the area of concern, and pulls the magnetic trigger. A green LED indicates the area is free of hazardous voltage. If the red LED flashes, hazardous voltage is present.

 

In just a few seconds, a technician can determine if it's safe to work around areas like:

Transformer cases and circuit breaker housings

Power ground wires or newly-driven ground rods

Mobile homes, metallic siding or metal framing

Pedestals, crossboxes or conduit

Street light fixtures or electrical machinery

The Voltage Detector is a proven life-saver, with more than 20 years of service in telecommunications outside plant and power utility applications.
