Abstract
The present invention is a defect inspection method and apparatus for electrically inspecting for the presence of defects in sealed containers of insulating material containing electrically conductive electrolyte or nonelectrolyte fluids, in which the container to be inspected is charged by a high DC voltage to detect the charging current developed and the current neutralizing the charging current for detecting the presence of faults in the container through the magnitudes and the shapes of these currents which are compared with reference values.
