T&D How recently posted a video sponsored by Burns & McDonnell called Stray Voltage Sniffing. It features Eversource Energy patrolling the streets at night to detect stray voltage from streetlight poles.

To watch, click here or on the image.

 

Mike Holt's comment: I hate it that they call this Stray Voltage. It's Contact or Fault Voltage, not Stray Voltage.

  • Mike,

    The IEEE is working on a new document to help clarify the difference between Stray voltage and Contact voltage but it will take time before people truly understand the difference.
