ABSTRACT:
A probability analysis technique is performed on magnetically obtained current data to detect short circuit defects in a plate structure (10) in which a group of first electrical conductors (32) are nominally electrically insulated from and cross a group of second electrical conductors (48). In particular, a magnetic current-sensing operation is performed on at least part of the conductors to produce current data indicative of how much, if any, current flows through each of at least part of the conductors. A short circuit defect probability analysis is then applied to the current data in order to select a location where one of the first conductors crosses one of the second conductors as being most probable of having a short circuit defect.
