Estimation Results on the Location Error when Using Cable Locator
Authors: ,
Abstract: A cable locator discovers the location as well as depth of underground pipes, cables and wires. Telecommunications services have been interrupted by cutting off underground telecommunications cables installed inside ducts during road construction. In order to prevent such an accident, it is necessary to identify the location of the cables. The system detecting a burial location of the cables is introduced by measuring the maximum magnetic field distribution on the earth surface generated by signaling current flowing through the cables installed inside the ducts. However, an error occurred in the burial location of the cables, when several ducts (it is called three kinds, a vinyl pipe, a cast iron pipe, and a steel pipe) are installed. Therefore, the magnetic field distributions depending on the duct arrangements were analyzed in order to estimate the errors using finite element method.
