  • Abstract
    AN APPARATUS has been developed for the purpose of detecting and locating the presence of small voids or air pockets in rubber or plastic cable insulation. This is especially important in cases where the operating voltage of the cable is high enough to ionize the gas in these void spaces, because continued ionization may eventually erode or burn its way through the insulation, and result in cable failure.
