Abstract (en)

[origin: US4579317A] An electrode arrangement for capacitive guard fences wherein the conductor is horizontally stretched substantially parallel to the ground has a shape for preventing formation of water droplets which may collect as a result of precipitation from generating a false alarm and which also deters small animals from perching on the electrode. In one embodiment the electrode has a rectangular cross-section with the longest sides of the electrode being disposed substantially vertically. In another embodiment the electrode consists of two conductors having circular cross-sections which may be disposed parallel to one another or twisted. A further electrode embodiment has at least three conductors having very small circular cross-sections disposed at equal intervals from one another around a circular circumference. Means for facilitating water droplet runoff are provided at equal intervals which simultaneously serve as spacers for the conductors. Another electrode embodiment has a single line wire in the shape of a stretched helical spring.
