Hipotronics CF30-8 High Voltage Cable Fault Locating Power Supply
The Hipotronics CF Series test systems for fault
locating of primary cables consist of a dc proof tester, a burner and a
capacitive discharge fault locator (thumper). These self-contained,
portable units are rugged, reliable and compact making them ideal for
field use. The CF30-8 has a continuously adjustable impulse rate
from three to thirty seconds. Test ratings are a 30 kV dc proof test
voltage, a 50 mA burn current and a 0-15 kV dc capacitive discharge
(thumper) voltage.
The units can be used with a high voltage coupler (4100
Series) and a time domain reflectometer (TDR) to quickly provide a
specific distance to the fault in feet or meters. This combination
of equipment can greatly reduce the amount of high voltage (number of
thumps) the cable resulting in reduced damage or degradation to the
cable under test.
