A hand-held receiver and a small and compact transformer which are both battery operated and light in weight. Both the components perform different functions. The receiver mainly detects the magnetic fields which are created by electrical current passing through the underground electrical cables and related wires. The information gathered by the receiver is then displayed in a window which is located at the top of the receiver. The transmitter mainly put an already traced electrical signal onto the electrical cable or wire and the receiver simply receive that signal to tell us the exact location of that particular underground cable.
