I write Methods of procedure for maintenance work. I prefere to use a tic tracer on a non conductive extension pole to check for the presence of voltage while keeping a safe distance from the potentially energized parts. Lately this has come under scrutiny quoting 70E requirement for phase to phase and phase to ground measurments. I use a meter as a secondary test to verify zero volts but have always felt that the tic tracer was an acceptable way to keep preliminary testing distance. Any documentation available either way?
