Cable Location Services

Vickery Electric offers Circuit Location, Isolation and Under Ground Pipe/Cable Location.

Conductive tracing is the preferred method we use because the transmitter makes a direct physical hook-up with the line to be traced. The included ground plate assembly plugs into the transmitter with one wire going to an alligator clip to be attached to the pipe, non-energized wire, or conduit. This concentrates the signal on the known line to be traced and there is less chance of the signal inducing a nearby adjacent line to cause confusion. Tracing distances are increased 25-50 percent over the inductive method.

Non metallic pipes may be traced conductivity if the ground plate assembly is attached to a plumbers "snake" or electrician's "fish tape" running inside the pipe.

Vickery Electric incorporates Live Connection tracing by applying high frequencies generated by independent power sources. These independent sources allow Vickery's Technicians to clearly isolated circuitry without disrupting today's sensitive computerized systems.
