3.2
Energize line
3.2.1
General information for locating by energizing
In order to be able to locate a line, it must carry a current with a
certain frequency, so that an electromagnetic field is generated.
This field is then located.
Lines that are not carrying a current must be energized for lo-
cating.
Direct energizing involves supplying power from a generator to
the line via a cable. This is only possible if a galvanic connection
can be made to at least an exposed part of the line.
The following options are available for direct galvanic connection:
●
Connection via conductor loop
●
Connection with earthing spike
3.2.2
Connection via conductor loop
Two connection options on the line are required for direct galvan-
ic connection via a conductor loop. The line to be located must
be located between the two connection points.
