ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for continuously detecting skips, protrusions, protuberances and other defects in cable conductor shield, comprising a high voltage electrode, a capacitance bridge filter circuit and a corona discharge detector. A noncontacting coaxial electrode is employed to create an electric field between the cable conductor and the electrode. In the presence of this field, defects in the shield produce corona discharges. A detection circuit employing a capacitance bridge is employed to continuously detect corona discharges and produce signals used for subsequently locating the positions of the defects on the finished cable.
