Abstract
This invention permits one to trace more than one electrical conductor, each of the electrical conductors being associated with both a circuit breaker and an electrical outlet. The invention consists of a receiver and multiple transmitters. Further, in a single transmitter form of the invention, the invention permits the transmitter to continually transmit its signature signal without power dissipation concerns, just like the ability to continually transmit in the multiple transmitter form of the invention. Lastly, the device is able to trace conductors regardless of the load electrically connected to the conductor.
