TDR RI-10M2 is a compact cable fault locator combines function of TDR and Cable Bridge, designed to determine the nature and location of the irregularities and damages of the cable line (opens, shorts, wet/corroded splices, water in the cable, load coils, bridged taps, unknown splices, splits and re-splits, capture intermittent fault etc.),
as well as for measuring the main parameters of cable lines using bridge method (loop resistance, insulation resistance, capacitance, cable asymmetry, voltage, distance to leakage and breakage).
Designed for measurements on balanced and unbalanced cables.
Sphere of application
TDR-10M2 is used to control the laying and operation of the following types of cables:
- System Cables Communications;
- Signal and Control Cables ;
- Power cables;
- Aerial cable lines;
- Computer Networks;
- TV and radio cable lines;
- to determine the length of the cable in its production, storage and trade.
Cable bridge is a universal measuring device, which includes a set of schemes implemented by DC bridges and ballistic measurement method. Using measurements of the proposed schemes, we can determine the parameters of the cable (loop resistance, insulation resistance, resistive asymmetry, electric capacitance), and calculate the distance to the fault (open, low insulation resistance, short circuit). Microprocessor processing enables to automate calculations and automatically selects the measurement range.
