Working Principle and Test Modes
After selecting the function switch and the voltage gear switch, press the start button to perform high-voltage boosting; the energy storage capacitor is charged until the discharge ball gap breaks down, and a high-voltage, high-energy pulse is applied to the cable under test to burn down the fault point or trigger flashover for waveform sampling. Three test modes cover different on-site requirements:
| Test Mode | Operation | Typical Application |
|---|
| DC Withstand Voltage Mode | Select the DC gear, start the high voltage and slowly raise the voltage to the target value (for example DC 10kV) and hold it. | DC withstand voltage tests on cables and other electrical equipment |
| Cycle Impulse Discharge Mode | Select the Cycle gear; the instrument automatically performs periodic impulse discharge, about once every 7 seconds. | Burning down cable faults and triggering flashover for fault distance measurement with a cable fault tester |
| Single Discharge Mode | Select the Single gear and press the Single key to perform one discharge action each time. | One-shot surge discharge for fault burning and waveform observation |
When performing waveform sampling, connect the host to a cable fault tester through the communication socket for high-voltage flashover waveform collection, so that the fault distance can be roughly measured and then precisely located along the line.
