The Electrical Service Technician (Contact Voltage Field Inspector) is given a circuit map for a specific geographic area for our client in which to conduct their testing and inspection. Each map identifies the Electric Distribution facilities owned by our client in which inspection and testing is to be conducted on an annual basis. The job function follows specific testing guidelines as set forth by the NY PSC.

Utilizing the circuit map, the inspector needs to test all metallic objects attached to a utility pole/structure for stray voltage using a HD LV-5 low voltage detector. A series of field audit questions are then entered into a handheld PDA GPS device to capture information required by the client. A typical inspection takes approximately 1-5 minutes to complete depending on the number of electrical attachments located at each structure.

• Trimble handheld PDA
