Cable Fault Location

Cable Test Van Systems

The family of Megger Cable Test Vans was specifically developed with the demanding needs of our international customers in mind; may it be service contractors, utilities or research facilities. Our test vans are delivering superior performance, ergonomics, user-friendliness, reliability in the field and optimum speed on all 5 continents and even in difficult environmental conditions. Embodied into this unique test van concept are the requirements and the field experience of many end users. The result is a system which sets a new benchmark for cable fault location and cable diagnostics performance, empowering you to keep the power on.

System R 30 fault location system for all applications

The R 30 is suitable for challenging medium voltage and high voltage applications, thanks to its robust HV DC source, and its superior energy discharge capabilities. The system is controlled with the single rotary knob easyGO interface of the Teleflex VX. A number of high end options are available, e.g. DC test and Decay prelocation modules up to 150 kV and even 400 kV for UHV transmission cables. The R 30 also offers surge generator options up to 100 kV, as well as ARM up to 50 kV and ICE up to 80 kV.

Time Domain Reflectometers TDRs

Advanced portable reflectometer for fault location systems Teleflex VX

Teleflex VX is especially designed to capture the rapid events encountered during fault location in power cables. The new hardware with significantly improved specification such as sampling frequency, pulse width and pulse amplitude, offers a longer range, higher resolution and above all, improved measurement.

Three-phase time domain reflectometer MTDR300

The 3-phase MTDR300 has a range from 100 m to 55 km is designed to rapidly and accurately pre-locate faults in power cable networks. Operation is via a single jog-dial and an easy-to-use menu with pull-downs. All the operator has to do is select the operation and click to confirm. The MTDR300 is available as part of a Megger CFL or PFL system and as a stand-alone unit, housed in a rugged field proven case.

Portable reflectometer for fault location systems Teleflex SX-1

With a range of between 20 m to 160 km Teleflex SX-1 is a powerful TDR. It is easily operated using the touch screen and control knob and it automatically analyses the trace to give the cable end and fault distance indication. It supports all existing pre-location technologies and is compatible with all HV fault location systems.

Overhead line testing system

This interface permits a Teleflex reflectometer to be safely attached to overhead lines by earthing any dangerous induced voltages. By measuring the impedance changes, it can detect breaks, short circuits and branches off the line, smaller changes in impedance such as poor connections, faulty insulators and changes in cross section and sags in the line.

Single channel LV cable fault locator TDR1000/3P

A very capable TDR for identifying and locating faults on metallic cables. The TDR1000 is suitable for use on both dead and live cables without a blocking filter, up to CATIII 150 V phase-to-earth. Using a 2 ns pulse the TDR1000/3P’s near end performance is exceptional while offering a maximum range of 5 km.

Dual channel LV cable fault locator TDR2050

Offering a CATIV 600 V safety rating, the TDR2050 is perfect for chasing down fault on power circuits such as street lighting. It is IP54 rated. The step function trace improves the near-end performance of the TDR2050 as it prevents the trailing edge of the pulse masking faults. Other features are Auto-find taking you to the major events on the cable, Find-end function identifies the end of the cable and measures its length. Distance dependant gain is a major benefit in long cable performance.
