Discuss DC voltstick in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

An AC voltstick works by detecting the alternating electric field close to a cable. As the voltage field is static you might get the odd bleep / flash as you MOVED the voltstick past a HV DC cable but it is not reliable.
