Abstract of the Invention Breaks in the bare neutral conductor of an underground electric cable can be located by applying an alternating signal across the neutral conductor and a phase conductor at one end of the cable. The neutral and phase conductors are connected together at the other end of the cable. The elec- trical potential of the alternative signal is measured at a series of spaced apart points on the earth's surface along the cable's path. The potential between points over a cable section with an open in the neutral conductor will be about two orders of magnitude greater than the potential between points above good cable section.
