Abstract
Disclosed is a detector 10 using a liquid spray 2000 for detecting electrical faults or shorts with the detector including a body 100 having an interior 120; a hose or pipe 130 fluidly connected to interior 120; a trigger valve 140 operatively connected to hose 130; a conductor 200 attached to detector 10; and/or a pump 110 fluidly connected to interior 120. In various embodiments the detector 10 can cause liquid spray 2000 to be sprayed on a subregion of an item such as a remotely operated vehicle to create a closed electrical circuit through the liquid spray and the conductor in the detector.
