BAUR cable fault locating solutions support the complete process from fault pre-location to pin-pointing, sheath fault location, surge generation, burn-down, software-supported workflows, and portable fault location systems.
Underground cable faults can cause partial or total power supply failure and lead to high repair and restoration costs. Fast and precise cable fault location helps repairs happen quickly, keeps costs low, and minimizes downtime.
Use TDR and system-based fault location methods to estimate the fault distance before crews begin final field work.
Use surge generators, pin-pointing systems, and sheath fault locators to narrow down the fault position and reduce unnecessary excavation.
BAUR’s modular systems and software-supported approach help experienced and less experienced operators work efficiently and professionally.
Thr category includes burn-down transformers, TDR pre-location tools, pin-pointing systems, sheath fault locators, surge generators, portable fault location systems, and software support.

Common questions when selecting BAUR cable fault locating equipment.
This category covers BAUR products for locating underground cable faults quickly and reliably, including fault pre-location, pin-pointing, sheath fault location, surge generation, burn-down transformers, software, and complete portable systems.
The underground cable faults can cause partial or total power supply failure and high repair/restoration costs. Fast and precise fault location helps crews repair quickly and minimize downtime.
The category lists Protrac Rental, SHIRLA Rental, and TDR811P Rental, each with pricing shown for a 2-week rental period.
Pre-location estimates the fault distance or approximate fault area, often using TDR or system-based methods. Pin-pointing narrows the final physical location so crews can plan repair or excavation more accurately.
Selection depends on cable voltage class, fault type, whether impedance reduction is needed, whether the work requires pre-location, surge/acoustic pinpointing, sheath fault location, software, rentals, or a complete portable system. We can help confirm the right configuration.

A reliable power supply is and remains extremely important. To ensure a reliable power supply, a high-performance power grid and short downtime are crucial.
Often, faults on underground cables result in partial or total failure of the power supply and can lead to high repair and restoration costs. It is only through fast and precise cable fault location that repairs can be made quickly to keep costs as low as possible and minimise downtime.
BAUR’s top quality cable fault location technology has been setting a global benchmark for decades. With more than 75 years of experience in cable fault location, we offer application-oriented solutions for measurement engineers to suit all requirements and budgets – with everything available from a single source.
All of the technologies work together in an uncompromising manner, even in one single system. Supported by the new forward-looking software concept, they are easy to use, making it possible for less experienced operators to also use their system in a professional and efficient manner.
Our products reflect our 75 years of expertise. The BAUR device portfolio for cable fault location covers the entire process in an optimum manner and helps the operator locate faults quickly and reliably. Modular systems and devices are perfectly customised to your individual requirements. Convincing flexibility!
