Live/earth short circuit
If the live/earth fault is sufficiently high to blow the protection (circuit
breakers), the bridging method is used to find the fault.
- Connect the Emitter to the live side as shown on the diagram.
- The current crosses the short circuit and returns by the earth.
- Hold the Receiver in front of the fuse board; follow the route of the
conductor until the detection signal disappears.
- The short circuit has been found.
