OSTI ID:2541735

Glass, III, Samuel W.; Bowler, Nicola

Methods for assessing cable insulation are provided that can include engaging a first tine gap interdigital capacitor assembly with the exterior of the cable jacket to determine a first capacitance and dissipation factor value of the insulation using the first tine gap interdigital capacitor assembly; engaging a second tine gap interdigital capacitor assembly with the exterior of the cable jacket to determine a second capacitance and dissipation factor value of the insulation using the second tine gap interdigital capacitor assembly.Systems for assessing cable insulation are also provided. The systems can include a cable jacket encompassing cable insulation and conductive material; at least two tine gap interdigital capacitor assemblies engaged with the cable jacket; and processing circuitry operatively engaged with the capacitor assemblies.
