Process and apparatus for detecting an electrical connection fault between a connector and a screened cable

摘要

The measuring equipment (1) has a high frequency generator consisting of a capacitor (14) discharged by gas or a semiconductor (16) and defines a second parasitic capacitance (C2) to the building (5) in addition to that of the cable screen (22) and connector (3) screen. The high frequency signal (5-15 MHz and 100-5000 volts) is applied to the connector and cable screens and the two parasitic capacitances (C1,C2) in series and any fault in the screening or screening connections is reflected in a core signal (31,21) produced by radiation and measured by a detector (21,22).
