Absence of Voltage Testing – An Update on Accepted Approaches

Absence of voltage testing is a vital step in the process of verifying and establishing a de-energized state of any electrical system. As detailed in NFPA 70E clause 4.2.5., there is a specific and approved approach to establishing an electrical safe work condition with the following steps:

  • determine all possible source of electrical supply
  • interrupt the load current, open the disconnecting device for each possible source
  • verify where possible that all blades of the disconnecting...
