Key Features:
- Portable and Rugged: Designed for field use with a durable enclosure and an IP64 rating, making it suitable for harsh environments.
- High Voltage Testing: Offers DC insulation testing up to 20 kV.
- Proof/Burn Function: Can perform proof testing up to 20 kV and burn faults at up to 115 mA to stabilize them for easier location.
- Surge Output: Provides an 8/16 kV surge output with 1500 Joules of energy for fault pinpointing.
- Multiple Fault Location Methods:
- Arc Reflection Method (ARM): Stabilizes faults by creating a temporary earth bridge for TDR analysis.
- Arc Reflection Plus (ARM+): Allows viewing and analyzing multiple traces during the arc period.
- Differential Arc Reflection Method (DARM): Removes unwanted reflections for clearer fault identification, especially in complex cable systems with high-resistance faults.
- Impulse Current (ICE): Uses transient analysis with an integrated linear coupler for pre-location.
- Pulse Echo (TDR): Traditional Time Domain Reflectometry for identifying cable discontinuities.
- Integrated TDR (MTDR100): Features a large (10.4 inch) color XGA display for clear trace viewing and a user-friendly jog dial control. It includes auto-ranging, a cable library, and operator assistance functions.
- Fault Conditioning: Includes both proof/burn and arc reflection modes to stabilize unstable faults.
- Pinpoint Fault Location: Uses the surge generator (“thumper”) in conjunction with an acoustic/electromagnetic pinpointer (like the Megger digiPHONE+) to accurately locate faults.
- Optional Onboard Inverter: Some models (e.g., PFL22M1500INV) include an optional internal DC to AC inverter.
- Safety Features: Includes a high-visibility status bar, emergency stop button, and safety interlock circuit
