The invention relates to a method for detecting partial discharges occurring in a cable, wherein the cable has an earth screen with a helical structure, comprising the following steps of: arranging at least one detection coil round the cable for detect- ing electromagnetic pulses travelling along the cable; applying a potential difference between the core and the earth shield of the cable; and analyzing pulses generated by possible partial discharges in the at least one detection coil in order to determine the location and quality of the partial discharge having caused the pulse, wherein the detection coil is adapted to process signals with a frequency higher than 100 MHz. It has been found that with coils comprising only such a limited number of turns the signal detected by the coil is a much better representation of the form of the electromagnetic pulse travelling along the cable.
