OVERLAYER INTENDED TO COVER AN OBJECT, IN PARTICULAR A CABLE, IN ORDER TO DETECT AND/OR LOCATE A FAULT ON THE SURFACE OF SAME

摘要

An overlayer intended to cover an object in order to detect a fault on a surface of said object, characterised in that it comprises an assembly consisting of a plurality of current-conducting wire elements of different mechanical resistances and a means for insulating said conductive wire elements, each conductive wire element being arranged in such a way as to at least partially cover a surface of said object when the overlayer covers said object, each conductive wire element being arranged to allow same to be connected to a test device for detecting a fault affecting said conductive element.
