Arc Discharge Generator ADG‑500 is a 10kV/500J Surge generator with built-in ARM (aka SIM/MIM) and ICM (aka WAVE) fault location modes.
Surge generator and cable fault Pre-location in one compact and light weight device.
Significantly expands your ability of cable fault location of high-resistance defects which are not localize with low-voltage TDR method.
Supported measurement methods
Device provides the necessary conditions for the application of these modern non-destructive (without burning the insulation) search techniques of high resistance faults on power cables:
- Acoustic fault pinpointing (Surge mode) with AR-027EM cable fault locator (ground mic.)
- Arc Reflection Method– ARM aka SIM
- Impulse Current Method – ICM aka Oscillatory Discharge Method with sync. on current
Features
- Output voltage 0 … 10 kV
- Pinpointing and Pre-location HV-generator combined in one unit;
- Small size – device is free fits into a car trunk;
- Light weight – 15 kg
