Compact Cable Fault Location Systems
BAUR’s Syscompact Series combines high voltage surge generators, or thumpers, with TDR measuring devices to enable a compact and fully integrated cable fault location system. This allows for efficient cable fault pre-location of low-resistive, high-resistive, and intermittent cable faults. All necessary coupling devices are fully integrated into the system to allow the following pre-location methods, depending on the model:
- Time Domain Reflection Method – single or multicore
- Secondary Impulse Method / Multiple Impulse Method (SIM/MIM) – advanced SIM with SA 32 coupler
- Secondary Impulse Method, SIM DC – with SA 32 coupler
- Differential Secondary Impulse Method – with SA 32 coupler
- Impulse Current Method – with SK 1D inductive coupler
- Decay Method – with CC 1 capacitive coupler
- Differential Impulse Current Method – with SK 3D inductive coupler
- Differential Decay Method with SK 3D inductive coupler
The Syscompact cable fault locators can be used together with the Protrac cable fault pin-pointer to accurately and quickly determine the precise location of a cable fault.
