Voltage testing medium voltage 3

[jimioy]

Is there a non-contact medium voltage tester for use with a "shot gun" hot stick? I have 12470 volts at the load break elbow connections in the primaries of our pad mounted distribution transfomers. The load break elbows have an external grounding conductor, a bare solid #12, and they all parallel to the ground rod, as well as with the transformer shell and secondary grounded conductor. Do the bare grounds on the load break elbows interfere with a non-contact voltage reading?

If the elbows have capacitive test points, see
