English term or phrase: utility

Hello,

What is the equivalent of "utility" in the following sentence?

The loop of the clamp has a metallic core surrounded by a coil that when energized induces the Electro-magnetic energy onto the utility. The induction energy transfer is more direct because it wraps completely around the target utility. This can be performed on live cables/wires.
Utility-Locating
Remember this is a passive instrument that does not disrupt any utility, communication or electric line while in use.

Al 100 % con Pablo; más contexto ayudaría, pero su "(instalación de) suministros" parece adecuada.

Oeste de EEUU, un UTILITY por mayor parte, es electrididad, agua, linea telefonica, tubo de gas natural ( propano es el mismo?) Esa maquina a mano induce un cargo electrico y transmite sub suelo sin necesidad de alambre, se hace por aire, no se ondas de algun tipo. Ondas magneticas inducen flujos detectible sin tocar lineas telefonica cual contiene cobre, o tubo de agua, hierro, aqui la luz (electriciad) llega bajo tierra, aluminio. Para no incluye estrictamente Wi Fi, radio, television en este contexto, aunque a veces son Utilities segun contexto, cable de cobre/alunino de Internet sera un utilidad, ....

instalaciones de un suministro público

@ Fernanda ¿de qué está hablando en concreto?

Se me ocurre tal vez que se refiera a utility = instalaciones de un suministro público (?)

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/utility
a public service, as a system to provide water or electricity, a railroad line, a cell tower network, or the like.: Compare public utility (def. 1).

Podría ser p. ej. un excedente de energía solar que un propietario vierte en la red, o lo mismo desde un coche eléctrico... (?)

Sin más contexto es muy difícil ayudarte...

induction method of locating underground utilities

03:55 Apr 6

https://www.seescan.com/induction/ dice alli...Benefits of Induction:

Energize a conductor without physically touching it.
With proper transmitter management (placement, orientation, aiming, frequency selection, and power output) you can determine which
conductor gets the most signal and creates the best locating circuit. Induction may, in some cases, help isolate difficult (congested) circuits.
Induction can be used to sweep an area to see if any conductors are present. If the likely direction of the pipe or cable is known, two people can sweep, with one carrying the transmitter and one carrying the receiver, as they walk in tandem. If the receiver and the transmitter cross
an underground conductor at the same time it may be energized and show up on the receiver.

Agree with Pablo, Suministr Publicos. Segun contexto Utility Locating Service, son subterranos pues. segun contexto Recogida de Basura, sera un Utility del mismo despacho municipal pero barrils para basura no sera relevante.
