The invention relates to a method for detecting at least one irregularity in the dielectric around a substantially elongate conductor, comprising of: applying a potential difference between the conductor and the earth; measuring at a first position voltage changes caused by said irregularity and moving in the direction of the first position; measuring at a second position voltage changes caused by said irregularity and moving in the direction of the second position; determining with the use of time registration the difference in arrival time of voltage changes caused by the same irregularity and measured at the first and second position; determining the position of the irregularity in said conductor on the basis of the, difference in arrival time and the length of said conductor between the first and second position. |
