0.10m Resolution at a Mid-Range Price — Best-in-Class Precision. The XHGG501E delivers 0.10m minimum resolution on a 65km range with an 80MHz variable sampling engine — precision that outperforms every other instrument at its price point. Combine this with an optional DC 35kV coupler (no forced bundle) and an upgrade path to 8-pulse ARC multi-pulse testing, and the XHGG501E becomes the most flexible investment in cable fault diagnostics.
The XHGG501E ARC Cable Fault Pre-Locator integrates a 10.1-inch industrial full-color TFT touchscreen with an embedded system, offering stable, intuitive operation in the field. Built with industrial-grade components and a high-capacity 5200mAH lithium battery with fast charging, it performs signal filtering, high-speed acquisition, data processing, and waveform analysis to determine cable wave speed, total length, and fault distance. The instrument detects the full spectrum of cable faults — low-resistance, short-circuit, open-circuit, disconnection, leakage high-resistance, and flashover high-resistance — on power cables, high-frequency coaxial cables, street light cables, and buried wires across all cross-sections and dielectric media. All technical indicators, anti-interference performance, and metrological calibration comply with GB/T 18268.1, DL/T 849.1-2019, and JJF1042-2020 standards.

Unlike instruments that bundle expensive accessories into a mandatory purchase, the XHGG501E ships as a fully-capable standalone unit covering TDR (low-voltage pulse) and impulse high-voltage flashover methods. The DC 35kV pulse coupler and 8-pulse ARC multi-pulse capability are optional — purchase them with the instrument, or add them later when your testing requirements expand. No forced bundle. No wasted budget on features you don't yet need.

Q: What does 0.10m resolution mean in practice and when does it matter?
0.10m resolution means the XHGG501E can distinguish fault points within 10cm of the actual location. While 1.0m resolution (entry-level) is adequate for long cable sections where a larger excavation area is acceptable, 0.10m resolution significantly reduces the search zone for the acoustic-magnetic pinpointer, saving time and minimizing excavation costs — especially valuable in urban areas with paved surfaces.
Q: Is the pulse coupler included or optional?
The DC 35kV pulse coupler is offered as an optional accessory with the XHGG501E. It is required for ARC multi-pulse and high-voltage flashover testing. If your organization already has a compatible coupler or primarily conducts LV pulse testing, you can purchase the base unit only. For organizations starting fresh, the coupler can be added to the order for a complete HV testing solution.
Q: How does the XHGG501E fit into the product range?
The XHGG501E is positioned as the resolution-focused mid-range option: 0.10m resolution and 65km range at 200MHz sampling, bridging the gap between the entry-level XHGG501D (1.0m/16km) and the flagship XHGG502A (0.07m/120km). It is ideal for organizations that need precision beyond entry-level but don't require the maximum range and sampling rate of the flagship model.
Q: What test functions does the XHGG501E support?
Three core functions: low-voltage pulse method for open/short/low-resistance faults and cable length measurement; high-voltage flashover method (with external HV generator and optional coupler) for high-resistance leakage faults; and ARC multi-pulse for flashover high-resistance faults. The system also supports wave velocity calibration, waveform storage with USB export, and automatic/manual dual-mode distance analysis.
Q: What accessories are included in the standard package?
Standard package includes the XHGG501E main unit (10.1-inch touch LCD, IP54 chassis), test leads, charger, USB communication cable, carrying case, and user manual. The DC 35kV pulse coupler for HV flashover and ARC multi-pulse testing is available as an optional add-on. Contact our sales team to configure the exact package that fits your testing requirements.
Q: What warranty and compliance certifications are included?
The XHGG501E is CE and ISO certified, and comes with a 12-month standard warranty against manufacturing defects plus lifetime technical support. Each unit undergoes factory calibration and testing before shipment. Extended warranty plans and on-site commissioning services are available upon request. Technical inquiries typically receive a response within 24 hours.
