InterSheath CS, Classic cable sheath testing, fault pre-locating & pinpointing system 6kV

Classic system with rugged analogue metering for analysing pre-locating and pinpointing cable (outer) sheath faults on shielded or unshielded plastic insulated cables. Suitable for routine & commissioning tests on various types of cable networks. Detecting sheath faults during commissioning is considered to be a most effective pre-emptive procedure that reduces future cable failures and its associated costs significantly. The system features the lightweight HV tester HTD 6 plus the HV bridge BFL 6 for pre-locating high resistant faults based on the voltage drop method. The included ultra-precise Locator S employs the step-voltage method to pinpoint cable  sheath faults faster.

APPLICATIONS & FEATURES

  • Testing & fault locating of cables in power, lighting, control and communication networks;
  • Testing electric heating cable systems;
  • Effective pre-location & isolation of sheath faults to decrease overall required test duration;
  • Handy and simple to operate test combination;
  • Rugged (IP64) HV test set with precise and clearly visible analogue metering;
  • High burn current (400mA) for fault conditioning;
  • In combination with TDR and suitable filter monitored fault conversion (MFC) of high resistant LV faults;
  • Short circuit proof design
  • Precise HV Test With High Current Output
  • Accurate Pinpointer With µV Sensitivity
  • Rugged Analogue Metering
