Product Profile of Sheath Fault Locator System

Sheath Fault Locator System is an intact sheath of a plastic insulated medium and can be availed voltage cable for the avoidance of water ingress and subsequent cable faults. The Locator System can locate sheath/ earth faults on any type of cable and offers different modes such as DC test/ HV test, burning, pre-location and pin-pointing. The Locator System has the feature that the output of sheath fault locator is connected between the cable sheath and the mass of earth in pulse mode. The Sheath Fault Locator System ensures that DC current flows through the cable up to fault point and returns back through the mass of the earth to the sending or source end.

Key Features of Sheath Fault Locator System

• Intact sheath of a plastic insulated medium and can be availed voltage cable for the avoidance of water ingress and subsequent cable faults
• Can locate sheath/ earth faults on any type of cable and offers different modes such as dc test/ HV test, burning, pre-location and pin-pointing
• The output of sheath fault locator is connected between the cable sheath and the mass of earth in pulse mode
• Ensures that DC current flows through the cable up to fault point and returns back through the mass of the earth to the sending or source end
• User friendly in obtaining the fault distance; it uses a micro-controller based fault distance calculator that enables the operator to get the pre-location measurements with precise accuracy.
• Automatic discharging facility of cable under test, in case of power failure or after switching off.
• Continues operation for extended period in case of pin-point difficult sheath faults. Rugged construction and easy to carry on site.
• There manually selectable convince dc ranges for application.
• Cable and cable sheath testing up to 5 KV between metallic sheath/ armour and mass of earth.
• Automatic sheath fault pre-location with high precision measuring bridge method.
• Cable sheath fault pin pointing by pool of potential method.
• Conversion of high-resistance faults in low-voltage cables
