Cable fault locator TDR-TA4.7

Cable fault locator TDR-TA4.7

Ultimate time domain reflectometer with multiple measurement modes, external surge wave transmitter support, colorful TFT display and USB port.

Key features

  • Multiple modes of detection.
  • Inspection up to 256 km.
  • USB port, internal memory.
  • Built-in accumulator.
  • Colorful TFT display.

Features

TDR-TA4.7 is used for cables up to 256 km. It locates the most complicated and high impedance faults. It stores all the measurements in its internal memory. This device has a bank of commonly used cables uploaded for the best accuracy of location.

TDR-TA4.7 is intended for the following measurements on power cable lines:

  • cable length measurement and cable integrity tests;
  • measurement of the distance to the heterogeneity of the cable impedance or low-resistance fault, using TDR method;
  • measurement of the distance to the high-resistance fault, using the Arc Reflection Method (ARM) in complex with the high-voltage pulse generator (HVPG);
  • measurement of the distance to the high-resistance fault, using the Impulse Current Method (ICM) or Decay Method in complex with the high-voltage pulse generator (HVPG);
  • measurement of the velocity factor of the line at a known length.
