Absence of Voltage Tester VeriSafe™ from Panduit

This article is part of The Guide to Absence of Voltage Testing by Factomart

VeriSafe™ Absence of Voltage Testers uses active visual indicators that convey the status of voltage inside electrical equipment before it is accessed, reducing exposure to electrical hazards and protecting workers.

Please visit The Guide to Absence of Voltage Testing for more information on the topic.

1. Test the Tester – Verify tester can detect voltage in the desired range
2. Verify Installation – Verify tester is in contact with the circuit
3. Check for Voltage – Test phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground
4. Verify Installation – Re-verify the installation
5. Retest the Tester – Re-test the tester

Please visit What is Absence of Voltage Testing and why do I need to test for it? for more information about the test.

• Equipment with a single source of incoming power
• High risk associated with access
  • Frequently accessed equipment
  • High incident energy
• Remote or difficult to access locations
  • Outdoor, mezzanine, catwalk
• Sites with temporary or intermittent power
• Equipment with stored electrical energy
  • VFDs, capacitors,
• Equipment frequently serviced by third-party technicians or contractors

• Reduce the risk of exposure to electrical hazards for improved worker safety
• Reduce testing procedure time and complexity to improve productivity
• Supports compliance when used as part of the lockout/tag-out process described in NFPA 70E

Nobody wants to get an electric shock while working on the electrical panels especially when they think that it has been made safe; the Absence of Voltage Testing is explicitly designed to prevent this incident from happening. Here, we will explain “what is the test?”, the test standard, and its procedures.

We outlined the different methods and go through the pros and cons. The most efficient and safest method is the Absence of Voltage Tester device
