Bridging method

Reminder : the Emitter is a load for the voltage circuit the same as any
other. Because of its low consumption (I average < 5 mA) it doesn't set-
off upstream circuit breakers).
This is the bridging method. A large loop connection can be easily
connected in this way. This bridging method is used for a live/earth or live/
neutral short-circuit and allows the pulsed current to complete the circuit
with the circuit breakers left open.
The user can therefore use the Emitter as a bridge to supply power again
to a line that is short-circuited (circuit breakers open), for example a live/
earth short-circuit.
Example of a Live/Earth short circuit
NB: Examples of tracing short-circuits are described in the
"Applications" chapter.
