Data record `instr.voltage-detector.absence-of-voltage-practice`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: Medium

Before a circuit is declared dead, the voltage tester is proved on a known live source or a proving unit, the circuit is tested, and the tester is proved again afterwards, so that a tester that failed during the check cannot pass a live circuit as dead.

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

Provenance: the chain from source to entry.
