Abstract

A subsea communication system includes a subsea cable positioned subsea and exposed to water at a subsea pressure and a subsea temperature. A plurality of wires is disposed within the subsea cable, with each wire of the plurality of wires including an insulation layer arranged to inhibit current leakage in response to contact with the water. The system further includes a plurality of non-intrusive current sensors, with each non-intrusive current sensor positioned subsea, coupled to a pair of the wires of the plurality of wires and operable to measure a measured current in the associated pair of wires without affecting the current in the pair of wires. A controller is operable to receive the measured current from each non-intrusive current sensor of the plurality of non-intrusive current sensors and compare the measured current to an expected current to determine an insulating condition of a circuit partially defined by the pair of wires of the plurality of wires.
