OP03 Is PPE required to initiate an absence of voltage test with the VeriSafe Absence of Voltage
Tester?
The VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester allows qualified personnel to test for absence of voltage by
pressing a test button located outside of the enclosure where the tester is installed. Typically, devices
that are operated from the outside of electrical equipment are not considered to present electrical
hazards provided the equipment is properly installed and maintained, operation of the device does not
change the state of the enclosed equipment, and the equipment has no evidence of impending failure.
However, when determining the proper PPE for a given task, factors beyond the control of and unknown
to Panduit such as installation, maintenance of the equipment, personnel competency, other nearby
equipment, processes, or activities must be considered. Therefore, Panduit cannot make
recommendations as to what PPE is required and company policies and procedures should always be
followed. Top of the Document
OP04 Is PPE required to open an enclosure if the VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester confirms the
absence of voltage (green light)?
PPE for a given task is determined after performing a risk assessment and hazard analysis. The risk
assessment will take into account factors beyond the control of and unknown to Panduit such as
installation, maintenance of the equipment, other nearby equipment, processes, or activities that can
impact the need for PPE. Therefore, Panduit cannot make recommendations as to what PPE is required.
The user must follow standard safety policies and procedures established by the employer to determine
PPE requirements. In addition, the VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester will only test for voltage at the
point it is installed. The user must take necessary measures and follow established policy to ensure safe
working condition in all affected areas. Top of the Document
OP05 How does the VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester verify that sensor leads are in contact with
phase conductors and ground?
The AVT device features two sensor leads for each phase conductor and ground connection point. The
second lead on each phase (or ground connection) provides the ability for the AVT to verify that it is in
contact with the circuit conductors (each phase and ground) when the absence of voltage test takes
place. The presence of the second lead wire is detected by the internal sensing circuitry. This validates
the correct connection of the primary sensing lead. Top of the Document
OP06 Will VeriSafe indicate the difference between residual voltage and nominal voltage?
VeriSafe is designed to indicate the absence of voltage if any voltage great than 3 V AC or DC is detected
between individual phases and between each phase to ground. There is no distinction based on the
magnitude of the voltage, whether it be residual or other nominal. Top of the Document
