Any standard 120-volt grounded outlet will provide power to the tester. A reference chart is provided for #2, 1/0, 2/0 and 4/0 Str. Cu. cables of specific lengths to determine correct test values. A built-in digital meter allows the operator to easily input the correct voltage specified on the reference chart for various sizes and lengths of cable.
