The Locate Signal

•Is produced by the flow of alternating current (AC) which creates an

electromagnetic field

•This electromagnetic field radiates from the line and is known as the signal

•If there is no AC current flowing, there will be no locate signal

The Locate Signal

•Signals are created by the current flowing from the transmitter which travel along the

conductor (line/cable/pipe) and back to the transmitter.

•The current typically uses the ground to complete the current. The ground stake is used to

complete the circuit through the ground.

The Locate Signal

•We think of the signal traveling from the transmitter and back to the ground stake. In fact

the signal is continually changing direction, flowing back and forth.

•The rate at which it changes is called frequency, so for instance, 50Hz means the signal

changes direction 50 times per second, 8000Hz (or 8 kHz) means 8000 times per second.

(The “k” denotes 1000).

•The frequency is chosen depending on the application.
