Abstract

Peculiarities of discharge that is initiated by a flawed section of wire insulation that passes through a primary gas-discharge flaw transducer have been studied. Analysis of the structure of signals has been carried out, and possible mechanism and type of discharge in the sensor have been considered. Informative zones have also been singled out in the signal structure. A technique is described for testing enamel-insulated wires for flaws. The technique makes it possible to determine the number and extent of flawed sections in an enameled wire that is fed through the system at any variable speed. Ways and means are considered for reducing the errors in evaluating the number and extent of flaws. Flow chart of a faultiness-measurement device is suggested, and the principle of its operation is described.
