Abstract
There is provided a method for identifying one of a plurality of neutral wires of a power transmission cable. The method comprises (a) applying a signal to a selected neutral wire, at a first point on the power transmission cable, (b) sensing a relative magnitude of the signal on each of the plurality of neutral wires at a second point on the power transmission cable that is remote from the first point, and (c) identifying the selected neutral wire from the relative magnitudes. There is also provided a system for identifying one of a plurality of neutral wires of a power transmission cable.
Claims7
A method for identifying one of a plurality of neutral wires of a power transmission cable, wherein said plurality of wires are connected together at a first end of said transmission cable and at a second end of said transmission cable, said method comprising:
- applying a signal to a selected neutral wire, at a first point on said power transmission cable proximate to said first end;
- sensing a relative magnitude of said signal on each of said plurality of neutral wires at a second point on said power transmission cable proximate to said second end;
- and
- identifying said selected neutral wire from said relative magnitudes.
A system for identifying one of a plurality of neutral wires of a power transmission cable, wherein said plurality of wires are connected together at a first end of said transmission cable and at a second end of said transmission cable, said system comprising:
- a receiver for sensing a signal from a selected neutral wire of said power transmission cable;
- and
- an indicator of a magnitude of said signal,
- wherein said signal is applied to said selected wire at a first point on said power transmission cable proximate to said first end, and said receiver senses said signal at a second point on said power transmission cable proximate to said second end.
