Abstract
Methods and locating systems for determining an insulation fault location on an electric conductor of a subsea supply line are provided. By applying electric voltage on the electric conductor, an electrochemical reaction takes place at an insulation fault location between the metallic conductor material and the seawater, said electrochemical reaction forming gas, which in turn is connected to developing noise. Sonic sensors capture the sonic waves produced thereby within and without of the subsea supply line and evaluate the measuring signals in order to determine the insulation fault location. Alternatively or additionally to capturing noise, the gas-bubble image patterns occurring at the insulation fault location are optically captured and consulted in order to determine the insulation fault location.
