1. A detection device for detecting a partial discharge pulse in a high voltage conductor comprising:
- a conductive plate having an insulated face;
an insulated signal conductor spanning a portion of the insulated face and electrically insulated from the conductive plate;
means for recording an electrical pulse; and
means for transmitting the electrical pulse from the signal conductor to the recording meanswhereby partial discharge activity along the high voltage conductor is directionally coupled to the signal conductor inducing a pulse which is transmitted to the recording means.
