Abstract

In the location of an earth fault on a sheath of an underground cable, pulses of direct current are applied to the sheath at one location on the cable. A search is made for the magnetic field due to a fault current to earth flowing in the sheath which is produced by the applied d.c. pulses using a portable magnetometer, with a visual indicator, and the visual indications on the magnetometer are correlated with the periods of application of the pulses to the sheath. Preferably, the pulses are correlated with the magnetometer indications by simultaneously transmitting signals indicative of the periods of current application and using, with the portable magnetometer, a portable receiver arranged to receive the transmitted signals so that the magnetometer indications by simultaneously transmitting signals indicative of the periods of current application and using, with the portable magnetometer, a portable receiver arranged to receive the transmitted signals so that the magnetometer indications can be correlated with the received signals.
