16kV Surge Wave Tester
The High Voltage (HV) Surge Tester is a robust and dependable tool crafted to identify faults in underground power cables. It does this by utilizing the acoustic method alongside a compatible Surge Wave Receiver.
Beyond just pinpointing faults, the HV Surge Tester also enables the pre-location of cable fault distances when paired with a compatible pre-locator unit in Impulse Current (ICM) mode. For even more precise fault detection, it can be connected to an Arc Reflection Filter (ARM/SIM mode), which significantly boosts pre-location accuracy.
- Optimized surge energy for switchable capacitors values for each range.
- Pin-point location of cable faults in Low and Medium voltage cables by acoustic method.
- Output voltage selectable in three ranges 4, 8, 16 kV.
- High energy of 2000J maximum at each range.
- Full energy delivering capacity at each select range.
- Continuously variable output voltage from 0 to 100 % of selected range.
- Fully protected operation with safety interlocks.
- Pre-location of cable fault distance with suitable pre-locator unit in ICM mode.
- Easy to connect with arc reflection filter and pre-locate fault distance in SIM mode.
- Automatic discharging facility of cable under test, in case of power failure or after switching off.
- Continued operation for an extended period during pinpointing and handling of difficult cable faults.
- Rugged construction and easy to carry on site.
