Surge Generator / Cable Thumper
Surge Voltage Generators are used for pre-locating as well as for pin-pointing of high and low resistance faults in power cables. The stored energy of the high voltage capacitors is fed at intervals to the faulty cable. This causes an acoustic noise at the fault position which can be detected with a ground microphone.

These powerful Cable Fault Locator Thumpers SSG 1100, SSG 1500, SSG 2100, and SSG 3000 are built in a 19″ rack modular design, suitable as stand alone units, or along with components of the Syscompact Series fault location systems.
The following maximum surge energy is available at three stages 0 – 8, 0 – 16, and 0 – 32 kV:
- SSG 1100 – 1100 Joule
- SSG 1500 – 1536 Joule
- SSG 2100 – 2048 Joule
- SSG 3000 – 3000 Joule
Optionally, the surge generator can be equipped with a low voltage surge supplement SZ 1000 or SZ 1600, providing surge energy of 1000 Joule or 1700 Joule even at a low surge voltage of 4 kV.
