Cable and Pipeline Fault Locating
• If it is suspected that there is just one fault on the line, the A-frame can be used
to estimate the magnitude of the fault.
• Position the A-frame approximately one meter from the earth stake. Note the dB
reading which will be similar to the maximum dB reading at the fault.
• For best results the target line should be isolated, and all ground bonds removed.
