ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for monitoring voltage changes along a cable. First and second controllers monitor voltage potentials at first and second locations along the cable and these voltage potentials are compared to determine whether or not voltage drops exist along the cable. These voltage drops would normally be caused by improperly connected or damaged nodes which increase the resistance to the power provided by a power source.
