Flagship Model — XHGG502A. The most advanced cable fault pre-locator in the XZH product line, featuring 400MHz ultra-high-speed sampling, 120km maximum range, 0.07m minimum resolution, and exclusive ARC 8-group multi-pulse technology on a 10.1-inch industrial touch display.
The XHGG502A Cable Fault Pre-Locator is a professional-grade instrument combining three complementary test methodologies — TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry), ICE (Impulse Current), and ARM (Arc Reflection Multi-Pulse) — into a single integrated platform. Built around an industrial 10.1-inch TFT touchscreen computer with embedded system architecture, it delivers stable, reliable fault distance measurement and waveform analysis for all common cable fault types: low-resistance, short-circuit, open-circuit, disconnection, high-resistance leakage, and high-resistance flashover.
What sets the XHGG502A apart is its ARC multi-pulse capability: when paired with a pulse coupler (rated DC 35kV), it simultaneously displays 8 groups of high-voltage and low-voltage waveform comparisons, enabling technicians to visually match fault signatures against reference traces for confident, unambiguous fault distance determination — a capability typically found only in instruments costing significantly more.

12-month free warranty against manufacturing defects. Lifetime technical support and maintenance services. CE and ISO certified. Conforms to GB/T 18268.1 industrial EMC requirements, DL/T 849.1-2019 cable fault flash tester standards, and JJF1042-2020 calibration specifications.
Q: What advantages does 400MHz sampling provide over lower-frequency models?
400MHz sampling captures waveform details up to 4 times finer than 100MHz models. This directly translates to 0.07m minimum resolution and the ability to detect small impedance changes from partial conductor damage or water tree degradation that lower-frequency instruments may miss. For 35kV cable networks where early fault detection prevents catastrophic failures, this level of detail is critical for condition-based maintenance programs.
Q: How many waveforms can be stored and how are they managed?
The XHGG502A stores 8000+ low-voltage and high-voltage waveforms plus 250+ ARC multi-pulse records. Files support Chinese-character naming for intuitive organization by site name, cable ID, or date. Via USB connection, waveforms can be exported to the included PC management software for archival analysis, comparison across maintenance cycles, and professional report generation.
Q: What safety and compliance standards does the XHGG502A meet?
CE and ISO certified. Complies with GB/T 18268.1 (EMC requirements for measurement, control and laboratory equipment), DL/T 849.1-2019 (general specifications for power cable fault flash testers), and JJF1042-2020 (calibration specification for cable fault locators). These certifications ensure the instrument meets international standards for safety, performance, and reliability.
Q: What pulse widths are available and how do I select the right one?
Eight selectable pulse widths from 0.15μs to 10μs. Narrower pulses (0.15–0.6μs) provide higher resolution for short cables and near-end faults; wider pulses (2.4–10μs) deliver more energy for long-distance testing. As a rule of thumb: match the pulse width to approximately 1% of expected cable length for optimal resolution-to-range balance. The auto-range function can also select appropriate settings automatically.
Q: Can the XHGG502A be integrated into an existing cable test van?
Yes. The compact 5kg main unit (358×284×168mm) fits standard equipment racks, and the 10kg pulse coupler (430×380×220mm) integrates with existing HV systems. The XHGG502A can be rack-mounted in a cable test van alongside a HV surge generator and pinpointer for a complete mobile fault location system. Contact our integration team for mounting and wiring recommendations.
Q: What is the typical delivery time and what does warranty cover?
Standard delivery is 5-15 working days depending on configuration and destination. The 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects, with lifetime technical support included. Each unit is factory-calibrated with a test certificate before shipment. On-site commissioning and operator training services are available for first-time users or organizations expanding their testing capabilities.
