Default Ground Fault Location Equipment for Ungrounded AC
480v three phase system, Have seen equipment that is two parts. One hooks to ground, and three phases, has battery or 120v plug in, it has normally three lights that are on when no faults are present, and they are off when there is a fault. The other part is a clamp wond that picks up the pulse noise through a head set...

I always knew it as a ground thumper, but not a "burn type"

Anyone know what I am decribing and where to find one.
Thanks

Sounds like the old Metro-Tech fault finder. Does that ring a bell? That's the only one I know about that uses a headset.
