The invention relates to a device for predicting faults in a harness formed by a plurality of cables gathered together, in particular electrical cables, comprising a protective sheath () intended to surround the harness, the sheath () comprising a plurality of braided elements (), said braided elements () being braided together to form a tubular sheath, each braided element () comprising a plurality of longitudinal braiding strands () arranged to form a web, characterised in that the sheath () comprises at least one electrically conductive detection strand (), said detection strand () being arranged with the braiding strands () of a braided element () so as to be incorporated into the web forming said braided element (), the detection strand () being electrically insulated from the braiding strands () of said braided element ().

Protective sheath for an electrical harness in order to prevent the deterioration of same

An electrical connection member capable of detecting discontinuities in an electrical network is provided. The connection member includes a casing having at least three branches, each of the branches including, at the end of same, at least one terminal for electrical connection to a respective piece of equipment, and least one main conductor linking two terminals at the ends of two branches in the casing, at least one secondary conductor linking at least one terminal of the end of the third branch in the casing, and including an electrical coupler designed to inject an electrical test signal from the secondary conductor into the main conductor, and to transmit, to the secondary conductor, an electrical response signal generated by the reflection of the electrical test signal against a discontinuity encountered in the electrical network.
