Electrical liner integrity survey the earth below the geomembrane. The leak detection equipment features an ammeter in series with the applied potential circuit. The ammeter registers an increase in current in the presence of a leak, resulting in an audible tone and visual increase in the current level. The expected minimum sensitivity of the water-based bare geomembrane liner integrity methods is a one millimeter diameter circular leak. For the arc testing method, water is not required. A low voltage is introduced above the geomembrane and grounded to the conductive layer below it. In the presence of a hole, an electrical arc is formed along
Electrical length Electrical length In telecommunications and electrical engineering, electrical length (or phase length) refers to the length of an electrical conductor in terms of the phase shift introduced by transmission over that conductor at some frequency. Depending on the specific usage, the term "electrical length" is used rather than simple physical length to incorporate one or more of the following three concepts: The first usage of the term "electrical length" assumes a sine wave of some frequency, or at least a narrowband waveform centered around some frequency "f". The sine wave will repeat with a period of "T" = 1/"f". The
