The VoltWitch senses 60 Hz electric fields, and shows the relative intensity of the field on a LED bar display.

Yes, the VoltWitch will pickup any 60 Hz signal regardless of its source, as long as the electric field has the intensity to trigger the VoltWitch display.

No, the VoltWitch senses the electric field which is present whenever the line is energized. Load currents produce an electromagnetic field which is not required to activate the VoltWitch.

You will not be able to distinguish which circuit is energized. The VoltWitch senses electric fields but, can not readily identify which line on a pole is producing that field.

The VoltWitch was designed for primary voltages. If the secondary is very close to the antenna (like almost touching) you will get a reading, but that is not the intended application.

No, URD cable is shielded by semi-conductive layers and a concentric neutral. This shielding blocks the propagation of the external 60 Hz signal.

No, the VoltWitch is designed and intended to be a way to stay in a vehicle and “drive” a line. ALWAYS use a voltage detector approved by your company to test the line prior to ANY operations including grounding.

DO NOT depend on the VoltWitch as your only verification that a line is energized or not energized.

ALWAYS verify the condition of the line with a voltage detector approved by your company prior to any operations such as grounding.

You can purchase the VoltWitch from our online store or direct from the factory.
