Encyclopedia of Grounding (CA09040E)

Features & Applications • Allows lineman to determine whether URD cable is energized or de-energized • Amplifier is designed to give a meter reading • This occurs when small AC voltage between the semi conductive sheath and the concentric neutral of the energized URD cable is applied to test probe • Amplifier is housed in a rugged thermoplastic case Energized Cable Sensor

• Self-test contact point is located on top of amplifier housing • Check meter operation and battery condition by touching test probe to test point

• Sensor checks energized condition on concentric neutral cable below an elbow without test points (as above) • At cable mid-span (left), hose clamps bridge all strands of concentric neutral at the test location • Sensor’s neutral lead clips to one of the hose clamps • Tip on probe lead contacts semi-conductive cable sheath to test voltage
