Surge Generator

Cable fault location with the BAUR SSG Series

Surge voltage generators are used for pre-location and pinpointing of high- and low-resistive as well as intermittent faults in power cables. The energy stored in a high-voltage capacitor is released at regular intervals or as DC voltage. The thus generated acoustic signal at the fault position can be recorded with a ground microphone and a universal receiver.
 

• High surge voltage up to 32 kV
• Continuously adjustable voltage
• Voltage monitoring through kV meters with 3 measuring ranges
• Automatic discharge unit
