XHDD503 Cable Fault Locator


The Cable Fault Locator locates fault points based on the principles of vibration acoustic detection and electromagnetic induction: A high-voltage pulse generator induces arcing at the fault point. The resulting vibration waves, acoustic waves, electromagnetic waves, and other signals generated by this arcing are captured by the locator’s dedicated probe, amplified, processed, displayed, and output. Test personnel then determine the precise fault location via auditory and visual analysis, completing the precise positioning task of "directly above the cable within the rough test range."
