Data record `instr.live-line-tool-tester.portable-tester-method`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: Medium

A portable wet/dry tester is placed on the stick and moved along it in overlapping positions, then the stick is turned a quarter turn and the pass repeated until the full circumference has been covered; stray currents through the air and inside the tester are zeroed out before the stick is introduced, and a check bar drives the meter to full scale to confirm that the tester works.

Provenance. Where this record comes from and where it is used: the cited source, the record itself and the entry that cites it.
