SWT-32 Surge Wave Tester

32kV Surge Wave Tester

The SWT32 High Voltage Surge Tester is a powerful and effective tool designed to help locate faults in underground power cables using an acoustic method paired with a compatible Surge Wave Receiver.

This tester also offers fault pre-location when used with a compatible pre-locator unit in Impulse Current (ICM) mode. Plus, it can be paired with an Arc Reflection Filter (SIM/ARM mode) for precise and advanced fault distance measurements.

  • Optimized surge energy for switchable capacitors values for each range.
  • Pin-point location of cable faults in Low, Medium and High voltage cables by acoustic method.
  • Output voltage selectable in three ranges 8, 16, 32 kV.
  • High energy of 1000 Joules and optional 2000 Joules.
  • 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.
