- 18 - WATER-COMPENSATED OPEN FAULT LOCATOR Abstract Apparatus, and associated methodology, for testing an open in a pair from a shielded, multipair cable contaminated by water to correct the measured distance to the open from a measurement point and thereby obtain the true distance comprises: means for applying an AC source to the mate of the open conductor means for detecting the resultant voltage induced on the open conductor through the capacitive coupling effects of the pair; and means for determining the percentage length of the pair affected by water from the source and resultant voltages and for estimating the true distance by correcting the measured distance as a function of this percentage.
