ABSTRACT:
A system for tracing wire includes an electrical exciter adapted to apply a voltage to a ground-laid wire to generate a corona at an outer surface of the ground laid wire, at least a portion of the corona including ultraviolet c-band radiation, and an ultraviolet c-band detector to detect the ultraviolet c-band radiation to trace at least a portion of the path of the ground-laid wire.
