BAUR TDR solutions help technicians quickly identify fault distance, cable breaks, low-resistance faults, and cable length — supporting faster repair decisions and reduced outage time.
Time Domain Reflectometry sends a pulse into the cable and analyzes reflections to help locate impedance changes, cable ends, breaks, joints, and faults. For maintenance teams, that means faster fault pre-location before excavation or repair work begins.
Use TDR traces to estimate distance to cable faults, reducing troubleshooting time and helping crews move directly toward the problem area.
Portable models and separation-filter options support safer field operation, including low-voltage applications with properly rated leads.
Trace hold, comparison functions, and BAUR Software 4 help convert field measurements into organized reports and long-term cable condition records.
From handheld TDR testing to advanced portable fault pre-location systems and software-supported cable diagnostics.
