Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A high frequency surge tester includes a high frequency detection circuit which is used to detect microfracture defects in the insulation of wire on wound coils. The high frequency detection circuit includes a high-pass filter which isolates an errant voltage response so that it can be integrated and compared to threshold limits to determine tine magnitude of defects. The surge tester also detects shorts between coils and shorts between turns of the same coil.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 5, 1992 and granted April 24, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 5, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 5, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
