Cable fault locator M-Thump5

The M-Thump5 portable cable fault locating system provides safe, efficient, and extremely easy-to-use solutions for quickly identifying, pre-locating, and pinpointing various types of cable faults in low and medium voltage power cables up to 6.6kV. This product represents a new generation of advanced underground cable fault locating systems that require less training than a traditional thumper-only system. The unit features a lightweight aluminium enclosure, equipped with handles as a portable unit, or as a permanently installed vehicle-mounted unit. Nine fault locating techniques in one toolbox The M-Thump5 incorporates nine methods for identification, prelocation and pinpointing of cable faults in one toolbox, with an output up to 5 kV. These methods include: • DC breakdown detection and proof test • Insulation resistance readout • Fault conversion by DC burning with burn current up to 500mA • Prelocation with cable radar/TDR, including phase comparison • Arc Reflection (ARM) with inductive ARM filter, including BestPicture Multishot • ARM Live Burning (Burn Arc Reflection) including BestPicture Multishot • Current decoupling ICE • Pinpointing high resistance faults by surging/thumping with up to 1000 J at up to 5 kV • Pinpointing of earth faults or sheath faults by voltage gradient method (step voltage method)
