Cable Fault Locator Kit
TDR-107 “SWIFT+” & ADG-200-2 “STINGRAY”

Kit purpose:

The implementation of modern High-Voltage methods of fault Pre-Location in a light-weight, compact, self-powered kit.

Preliminary localization of both low-resistance (<1 kOhm) and high-resistance (> 1 kOhm) cable faults by the following non-burning methods:

Scope of application

Scope of application

Power Cable Fault Prelocation Kit TDR-107 “SWIFT+” & ADG-200-2 “STINGRAY” is used for control during the laying and operation of the following types of cable lines:

  • power cables;
  • copper-core communication cables;
  • signaling and control cables;
  • overhead cable lines;
  • computer networks;
  • television and radio frequency cable lines.
  • to determine the length of the cable during its production, storage and trade.

Power cables of all types:

  • Power cables with impregnated paper insulation in lead sheath
  • or aluminum sheath
  • Power cables with rubber insulation
  • Power cables with PVC insulation
  • Power cables with polyethylene insulation

in all electrical networks where the power cable is used:

  • General-purpose electrical networks;
  • Autonomous power supply networks;
  • Repair and maintenance of water transport;
  • Technological networks;
  • Metallurgical industry;
  • Mining industry;
  • Railways;
  • etc.

Heating cables of the main types:

  • resistive type
  • self-regulating type
  • and etc.

in many industries:

  • Department of Housing and Utilities
  • Petrochemical industry
  • Pipeline transport (oil pipelines, water supply / sewerage)

Features

Features

  • The most careful Сable Fault Locating (CFL) methods – short-term (milliseconds) HV-impact on cable insulation does not damage cable lines :
    • perfect for finding faults on cable lines with XLPE insulation (cross-linked polyethylene);
    • perhaps the only CFL methods applicable to heating cables in mechanically and thermally insulated pipelines;
  • Compact and lightweight .
    the whole kit fits freely into the trunk of a car and can be easily moved to the connection point manually:
    • the possibility of using in hard-to-reach places (mines, wells), or in places inaccessible to the automobile Lab.
  • Autonomous: autonomous power supply from powerful built-in battery or car cigarette lighter (special option);
  • Waterproof : sealed cases – protection against adverse weather
