however, it is enough to stimulate the partial discharge signal in
the cable insulation defects without destroy the cable at the
same time. A sensor is used to collect the partial discharge
signal, the cable insulation detection could be accomplished
[16].

oscillating voltage has been studied, the conclusion are as
below:
1) Oscillating voltage can stimulate the partial discharge of
defect in the cable joint, and can detect it effectively.
2) Partial discharge will become severe when the oscillating
voltage amplitude become larger, obvious bimodal
characteristics can be seen in the three-dimensional statistical
maps at the same time.
3) The distinguish differences lie in three-dimensional maps
of three defects may lay a foundation for the further research in
pattern recognition.
