<p>A method for detection of wear or failure in elevator load-bearing member comprising electrically conductive tensile elements (T1, T2,... Tn) encapsulated in a case (5), the method being directed to detection of a wear or failure of said tensile elements, and comprising the steps of: applying a test signal to first tensile elements (T1, T2), applying a test signal to second tensile elements (T3, T4), and determining a condition of wear or failure based upon a difference in response to said test signal;preferably a test signal is applied to tensile elements which are electrically bridged (6) together; a load-bearing element designed for such method, with bridged tensile elements, is also disclosed.</p> |
