La présence de courant électrique direct dans le sol situé à proximité d'une conduite métallique peut induire la corrosion électrolytique du métal. Ce courant électrique porte le nom de courant vagabond car il circule en partie à l'extérieur de son circuit prévu. Le courant vagabond devient surtout un problème pour les conduites longues qui peuvent conduire l'électricité et qui offrent moins de résistance que le circuit original. 2, record 1, French, - courant%20vagabond
