Based on the traveling wave principle, the XHGG502 applies pulse signals to the cable under test and captures the echoes reflected at the fault point where the characteristic impedance changes, converting the reflection time into a precise fault distance. Five testing methods are integrated to cover faults from low resistance to high-resistance flashover:
| Testing Method | Working Principle | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Traveling Wave Method | Applies pulse signals and captures echoes at impedance-change points, converting reflection time into fault distance. | Core ranging principle covering all cable fault types |
| Low-Voltage Pulse Method (TDR) | Injects 400V low-voltage pulses and analyzes reflected waveforms to measure cable length, wave velocity and fault distance without connecting the high-voltage pulse generator. | Open-circuit, low-resistance, short-circuit and disconnection faults |
| High-Voltage Flashover Method (ICE / DECAY) | A high-voltage source triggers flashover discharge at the fault point; the sampler captures the reflected signal for distance calculation. | High-resistance leakage and flashover faults |
| Arc Reflection Method (ARC Single-Shot / Multi-Shot) | The pulse coupler guides instantaneous high-voltage pulses to the faulty phase, extending the arc duration and displaying clear fault echoes for comparison. | High-resistance flashover faults on long-distance cables |
This instrument provides power engineers with a reliable, comprehensive solution for power cable fault pre-location, helping minimize outage time through rapid and accurate fault distance measurement.
Accurately and quickly detect the main insulation failure of power cables with voltage levels of 35kV and below; calibrate the cable length; roughly test cable fault distance.
There are three test modes of the XHGG502: low-voltage pulse, high-voltage flashover and ARC multi-shot. When using the low-voltage pulse method, it is not necessary to connect the high-voltage pulse generator. Other test methods must be used in conjunction with a high-voltage pulse generator.
