Cable Fault Locating System
COMPAC 12 is a compact, rugged system designed for quick and accurate cable fault detection in power cables, ideal for utilities, industrial plants, and service providers. It integrates advanced diagnostic tools for fault pre-location and stabilization in one unit, offering up to 12kV voltage capability and 750J energy delivery with essential safety features like output cable interlock, emergency OFF, and automatic discharge.
Pre-location modes include TDR, ICM, and ARM. Additional functions include DC Hi-Pot testing for insulation integrity (up to 12kV, 20mA with overcurrent trip), sheath fault location and burn/proof testing (12kV DC, up to 50mA) to stabilize faults for faster pre-location.
- Rated energy output of 750 Joules at each selectable range
- Pre-location of cable faults distance with integrated TDR, ICM
& ARM Methods - Automatic cursor at fault point
- Standard and advanced mode
- DC Hi-pot, Burn test & SFL up to 12 kV
- In-built cable route mapping software
- Cyclical pulse repetition for precise pin-pointing of cable faults
- 10″ LCD touchscreen colour display
- Maximum measuring range of 100 km
- Safety interlocks with Emergency OFF for fully protected
operation - Automatic discharging facility of cable under test
- The system can operate through Inbuilt auxiliary battery
