Circuit tracer, Arc Flash protection

[brother]

Whats your favorite type of circuit tracer?? Does anyone know of a type that can trace multiple circuits at the same time without exposing oneself to arcflash like this tasco type

One would have to have on ppe to do place this on a live panel.

I love the top note on the transmitter:

"Caution: Sparks will occure when connecting phase clips."

They score two epic fails, one for spelling and another for a design that could possibly cause a severe arc flash depending on the magnitude and location of those sparks.

And the receiver in most cases needs to have direct contact with the hot conductor.

And it gives false/dual circuit indications on MWBC's.

I would not buy or use this tester, it seems to be a poorly designed product.

It does not seem to have any safety agency listings and it does not have a CAT rating either. Potential explosion hazard perhaps?

Nice idea in principle though.

Bumping this up, hard to believe no one else has chimed in on this...perhaps a move to the "Safety" section would help?
