Arc Discharge Generator GI-TA

Arc Discharge Generator GI-TA is designed to work on the fault location in combination with the TDRs: TDR-TA4.7 / TDR-107 / TDR-TA1.9 and with the third party TDRs (with ARM and ICE methods support), significantly expands their ability to location of high impedance defects which are not localize with low-voltage TDR method.

Features:

  • Completely self-powered device
  • Small size - a complex of free fits into a car trunk
  • Light weight

Overview

Supported measurement methods

Device provides the necessary conditions for the application of these modern non-destructive (without burning the insulation) search techniques of high impedance faults on power cables up to 10 kV:

  • Arc Reflection Method (ARM) with TDR-TA4.7, TDR-107, TDR-TA1.9
  • Impulse Current Method (ICE) with TDR-TA4.7, TDR-TA1.9
