If the wire used is aluminum, just a small movement of this wire can cause a brake. Aluminum wire ran under a drive is an area I have seen a problum. If ran under a drive than it should be in concuit. With copper or aluminum the wire may have been nicked when it was installed. This would caues corrosion and a brake after some time.

Can a short circuit occur from walking over an electrical cord under an area rug?

Yes it is possible because undo wear may be caused on the electric cord such that the hot and neutral bare wire come in contact. The area rug would also likely cause the wire to get hotter than usual which will cause the wire insulation to break down. As you can see, this is a bad idea.


What happens if neutral of three phase four wire system is break?

For a balanced three-phase load, the neutral current is zero, so the loss of the neutral would have no effect.However, for an unbalanced load, the 'difference' between the line currents results in a neutral current.So, for an unbalanced load, if no neutral current can flow, then the load's neutral point will no longer remain symmetrical, and the line voltages will become unbalanced. If the unbalance is severe, then individual loads may be subject to over-voltages or under-voltages.

How do you fix underground electric pet fencing?

Use a waterproof insulator once you find the break. I used a butt splice with heat shrink tubing. To find the break, see this link. It worked for me once I found the right frequency of the fence after installing the RF Choke. http://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_find_a_break_in_an_invisible_dog_fence/
