Gents:
We are in a search for a 5kv underground feeder. The contractor dug test pits to expose the ductbanks. We are not certain if the feeders are in the ductbank. We opened a manhole and noticed MV armored cable. The maintenance told us it might be the feeder we are looking for, again no assurance. The contractor choose to turn off the bucket and check with a hot stick. We just found out the stick does not do anything with the armored cable. We cannot shutdown the feeder for a long time.
Does anyone know a way to test if an armored cable is live or not?
As always, thanks for all your comments.
