METHOD OF DETERMINING DEPTH OF CABLE Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC G01S11/12 G01S17/02 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrical engineering and is used to determine the depth of the cable during excavation near or on the route of the cable line. Result is achieved by the fact that a method for determining the depth of the cable is proposed, which consists in the fact that at the stage of laying the cable line, a topographic scheme for laying the cable line on the ground is made with its binding to capital structures and natural landmarks on the terrain, as well as communication lines, and designate it on laying topographic scheme according to cartography rules, and at the stage of operation of the cable line, when determining the depth of the cable, determining the route of the cable line at the point where it is necessary to determine the depth of the cable, characterized by that in the housing of the device for determining the depth of the cable, an internal memory unit is additionally installed, which is configured to be connected to an external storage, and a satellite signal receiver with a satellite antenna configured to determine current coordinates and connected to the internal memory unit.

EFFECT: reduced error in determining the depth of the cable in the presence of interference from extraneous signal sources near the measured cable line.
