Product Description
Product Overview

The XZH TEST Portable Arc-Reflection Cable Fault Detection System is a fully integrated diagnostic platform for underground power cable networks. Combining a 400 MHz TDR pre-locator with patented multiple-pulse ARC reflection technology, a digital acoustic-magnetic pinpointer, a multi-frequency cable pipe locator, and a 2048J trolley-type high-voltage surge generator, this system delivers professional-grade fault detection from initial pre-location through centimeter-accurate pinpointing. Designed for utility field crews, electrical contractors, and industrial maintenance teams, the system supports cables up to 120 km in length with 0.07 m pre-location resolution and <0.2 m final pinpointing accuracy — enabling rapid, confident fault resolution with minimal excavation.

System Components
XHGG502A

1. XHGG502A — Cable Fault Pre-Locator (TDR + ARC Reflection)

400 MHz Multi-Pulse High-Resolution Fault Ranging
Advanced industrial-grade pre-locator featuring a 10.1-inch full-color TFT touch display (1024×600, 280-nit LED backlight for direct sunlight readability) and embedded system for safe, stable operation.

4. XHHV535-4TS — Trolley-Type High Voltage Surge Generator

2048J Cart-Mounted Impulse Energy Source with 3-Speed Capacitor Bank
Professional trolley-type HV surge generator integrating DC high-voltage source, three-speed energy storage capacitor bank (64 μF/8 kV, 16 μF/16 kV, 4 μF/32 kV), discharge ball gap, automatic discharge device, and voltage-level switching into a single wheeled cart. Delivers 0–2048 J at each voltage level with burn current up to 240 mA for fault conditioning. Supports single trigger, cycle, and DC operating modes with automatic 6–7 second impact timing. Features zero-start safety interlock, over-voltage/over-current/overheating protection, automatic post-operation discharge, and IP54 enclosure. Functions as both a surge generator for fault pinpointing and a DC withstand voltage tester (0–32 kV, 0–20 A).

Complete Fault Location Workflow
  1. Cable Insulation Test & Fault CharacterizationPerform initial insulation resistance measurement to confirm fault presence and characterize type (high/low resistance, open/short circuit, flashover).
  2. Fault Pre-Location (XHGG502A)Connect the TDR pre-locator. Use LV pulse for low-resistance/open faults, or ARM multiple-pulse ARC reflection for high-resistance/flashover faults. The instrument automatically captures 8 waveform sets per single HV impulse for reliable distance interpretation.
  3. Route Tracing & Cable Identification (XHGX507)Deploy the cable pipe locator to trace the exact cable path, measure burial depth, and positively identify the target cable from a bundle. Mark the route on the ground surface.
  4. Surge Impulse Generation (XHHV535-4TSC)Apply periodic high-voltage surges at the selected voltage level to create detectable acoustic and electromagnetic transient signals at the fault point for pinpointing.
  5. Precise Pinpointing (XHDD503C)Walk the marked cable route with the acoustic-magnetic pinpointer. Monitor 4 simultaneous time-difference displays — the point where acoustic-magnetic time delay approaches zero is directly above the fault, within <0.2 m.
  6. Cable Repair & Re-TestExcavate precisely at the marked point, repair the cable, and verify service restoration with a final insulation test to confirm operational integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What fault types can the multiple-pulse ARC reflection method handle that conventional TDR cannot?

The 8-pulse ARC Reflection Method (ARM) on the XHGG502A is specifically designed for high-resistance and flashover faults that produce weak or ambiguous reflections under standard TDR. Unlike secondary pulse methods that struggle with cosine oscillation interference, ARM captures 8 waveform sets per single HV impulse — guaranteeing multiple clean, interpretable fault echoes regardless of cable length, fault distance, or oscillation period. This is especially effective for water-ingress faults in paper-insulated cables and high-impedance sheath faults.

Q2: What is the advantage of the trolley-type HV surge generator over portable units?

The XHHV535-4TSC trolley design combines the high energy output of a laboratory-grade surge generator (2048 J at 32 kV) with field mobility. The wheeled cart design (550×500×1000 mm, ≤130 kg) allows single-operator transport across job sites while housing a 3-speed switchable capacitor bank (4/16/64 μF) and providing three operating modes (single trigger, automatic cycle at 6–7 second intervals, and DC withstand voltage testing). The integrated automatic discharge, zero-start interlock, and IP54 enclosure exceed portable unit safety and capability.

Q3: Can this system be operated by a single technician in the field?

Yes. Each component is designed for single-operator deployment with intuitive touch-screen interfaces (10.1-inch on the pre-locator, 5-inch on the pinpointer) and graphical guidance. The XHGX507 cable pipe locator provides bar-graph, arrow, and voice prompts — one person can perform the complete route tracing and depth measurement workflow. The XHHV535-4TSC surge generator is wheeled for easy single-person positioning. A two-person crew is recommended for safety during high-voltage operations per standard utility safety protocols.

Q4: What training, documentation, and after-sales support are provided?

XZH TEST provides comprehensive English-language user manuals, on-site commissioning, and operator training upon request with every system. The 12-month standard warranty covers manufacturing defects, with extended warranty and service contracts available. Remote technical support via email, video call, and phone is included. We supply all necessary accessories: high-voltage output cable (5 m), protective earthing cable (5 m), coupling clamps (Φ150 mm), A-frame for step-voltage detection, chargers, and connection leads.

Q5: What are the delivery time, packaging, and supply capacity?

Standard delivery is 5–8 working days after order confirmation. Each system component is individually packed in reinforced export-grade wooden cases with internal foam cushioning to ensure safe international transit. Minimum order quantity is 1 unit, with T/T payment terms. Annual supply capacity is 2,000 sets, ensuring availability for both individual purchases and large-scale procurement programs.
