BAUR SSG surge generators support cable fault pre-location and pinpointing by generating surge or DC voltage to create an acoustic signal at the fault position for detection with a ground microphone and receiver.
Surge generators are used in cable fault location workflows for high-resistance, low-resistance, and intermittent faults. By releasing capacitor energy at regular intervals or as DC voltage, the system helps create an acoustic signal at the fault position for final pinpointing.
Use surge energy as part of a cable fault location process to move from broad fault indication toward a practical repair zone.
Generate an acoustic signal at the fault position so crews can detect the location using a ground microphone and universal receiver.
Continuously adjustable voltage, kV monitoring, and automatic discharge support a controlled and repeatable field workflow.

Common questions when selecting a BAUR surge generator for cable fault location.
A surge generator is used for cable fault pre-location and pinpointing. It releases stored high-voltage capacitor energy at regular intervals or as DC voltage to help create an acoustic signal at the fault position.
They are used for high-resistive, low-resistive, and intermittent faults in power cables, especially when combined with acoustic pinpointing equipment.
The category highlights high surge voltage up to 32 kV, continuously adjustable voltage, voltage monitoring through kV meters with 3 measuring ranges, and an automatic discharge unit.
Selection depends on cable voltage class, required surge energy/voltage, fault type, field workflow, and whether you need a compact or higher-capacity SSG configuration. RCC Electronics can help confirm the best match.
