Electric Field & Stray Voltage Scanning Services*
* includes Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. technology
Advanced Detection for Utilities
Platform Agnostic Deployment for handheld, drone-based, and vehicle mounted solutions
Proven Performance
Validated by independent internationally recognized testing lab and approved by Public Service Commission.
ETHAR’s technology is not just theoretical; it is field-proven and utility-validated. In recent filings with the Public Service Commission (PSC), our CVD2 Detector was documented to outperform legacy products in head-to-head field tests.
Single sensor simultaneous source identification of contact voltage, open neutrals, and arcing no matter the deployment of handheld, drone, or vehicle mounting platform.
Comprehensive Non-Contact Scanning Ecosystem
We utilize a unified technology stack across three deployment methods, ensuring consistency whether scanning a city block or a single pole.
Handheld Detection Units
Used for precise pinpointing and field verification by ground personnel.
Note: Exclusively available to support our scanning service partners.
Drone/UAV Surveying
Aerial scanning capabilities for hard-to-reach infrastructure.
Vehicle-Mounted Scanning
Fast, accurate scanning from single sensor devices mounted on fleet vehicles. Used for precise pinpointing and field verification from vehicle mounted units.
Protected Proprietary Technology
Our market-leading position is secured by patents covering the complete spectrum of real-time detection and source identification:
Patented Handheld Technology
Portable, handheld electric field stray voltage detection and source identification systems.
Patented Drone Application
Aerial surveys of stray voltage detection and source identification integration.
Vehicle Mounted Scanning
Vehicle-mounting methodologies utilize independent units to detect stray voltage and identify sources.
Beyond Standard Voltage Detection.
Unmatched real-time performance across multiple platforms.
Our proprietary Electric Field Scanning technology identifies critical infrastructure issues that others miss:
Stray/Contact Voltage: High-sensitivity detection and source identification of energized surfaces.
Open Neutrals via THD: We detect Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Levels at 10% or higher are used as a definitive criterion for identifying Open Neutrals, allowing for preventative maintenance before failure.
Arcing & Partial Discharge: Capable of detecting arcing and partial discharge. This allows utilities to address potential arcing issues before they lead to failure (e.g., manhole events).
Handheld Investigation
Precision walking surveys for hard-to-access areas.
Vehicle Mounted Scanning
Rapid clearing of Contact Voltage Risk Zones (CVRZ).
Data & Digital Twins
AR/VR integration for visualizing findings on maps.

Comprehensive Protection
Why Comprehensive Protection Matters
Our detailed scans cover your entire distribution network, ensuring no part of your service area is left unchecked. Following industry best practices, we conduct off-peak nighttime scans and deploy multiple crews to maximize efficiency and safety. Stray voltage incidents can lead to severe consequences, including public safety liabilities, reputation damage, unplanned maintenance costs, and regulatory compliance risks. Proactively addressing these hazards demonstrates your commitment to safety and can prevent tragic accidents.
