Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting and identifying hazardous objects in electric fields. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises two or more sensor probes mounted on a mobile vehicle and spaced apart from one another, wherein each sensor probe of the two or more sensor probes generates a signal corresponding to an electrical field; a processor, coupled to the two or more sensor probes, for processing the signals from the two or more sensor probes to generate at least one processed signal based on a distance between at least two sensor probes of the two or more sensor probes; and an indicator, coupled to the processor for providing, based on the at least one processed signal, an indication of a hazardously energized object in the electric field.
