Increasing Sensitivity when Measuring under Voltage
Measuring under grid voltage! Observe safety provisions.
For the two-pole measuring method under voltage
,
the search signal of lines close to each other often
affects itself. This is reflected in a lower search
depth.
To prevent this problem, you can use an additional
power cable for the return (e.g. an extension, cable
drum, etc.).
The distance between the lines in either direction
should be at least 2 meters. Thus, the electrical
field can spread sufficiently and the auxiliary line
does not influence the search signal.
Connect the transmitter to a connection at the out-
let to be found.
The second connection can be attached, e.g. to a
cable drum connected to another outlet of the
same circuit.
This increases sensitivity greatly.
