3. XHDD503C — Cable Fault Pinpointer

Acoustic-Magnetic Synchronization — 0.1 m Precision
Professional digital pinpointer using acoustic-magnetic synchronization for precise fault localization. When the surge generator applies HV impulses, the acoustic (thumping) and electromagnetic signals propagate from the fault point at different speeds. The pinpointer captures both via its IP65-rated multi-layer isolated sensor, calculates the time difference in real time, and displays four simultaneous acoustic-magnetic readings on its 5-inch sunlight-visible touch LCD. Features BNR background noise reduction, mute noise reduction, four selectable filter modes, and path deviation indication for comprehensive field navigation.
  • Positioning Accuracy: 0.1 m (fixed point & path)

  • Display: 5-inch TFT ultra-bright 800×480 true color
  • Battery: 4×18650 lithium, >8 h standby
  • Waterproof: IP65 | Weight: 6.5 kg (428L×350W×230H mm)

4. XHGX507C — Cable Pipeline Comprehensive Tester

Path Tracing, Depth Measurement & Cable Identification
Multi-frequency electromagnetic transmitter-receiver system for underground cable and pipeline route tracing, depth measurement, current measurement, and cable identification. The transmitter injects a stable sinusoidal signal via direct connection, coupling (clamp), or induction. The receiver provides bar-graph, arrow, and voice prompts for intuitive one-person operation.

Complete Fault Location Workflow
  1. Cable Insulation Test & Fault CharacterizationPerform initial insulation resistance measurement to confirm fault presence and characterize fault type (high/low resistance, open/short circuit, flashover). This determines the optimal test method for pre-location.
  2. Fault Pre-Location (XHGG502A)Connect the TDR pre-locator. Use LV pulse for low-resistance/open faults or multi-pulse ARC for high-resistance/flashover faults. Automatic waveform capture identifies fault distance within seconds.
  3. Route Tracing & Cable Identification (XHGX507C)Deploy the pipeline comprehensive tester to trace the exact cable path, measure burial depth, and positively identify the target cable among multiple circuits. Mark the route on the ground surface.
  4. Surge Impulse Generation (XHHV535-4TS)Apply periodic high-voltage surges at the selected voltage level. The automatic ~4-second cycle creates consistent acoustic and electromagnetic signals at the fault point for pinpointing.
  5. Precise Pinpointing (XHDD503C)Walk the 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 0.1 m.
  6. Cable Repair & VerificationExcavate 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 cable types and voltage levels are compatible with this system?

The XZH TEST 535-4TS+502A+503C+507C system is designed for medium and low voltage underground power cables. It handles all common insulation types (XLPE, PILC, EPR) and fault categories — low-resistance, short-circuit, open-circuit, high-resistance leakage, and flashover faults. The 3-gear surge voltage (8/16/32 kV) allows operators to match impulse energy to the cable's voltage rating for safe, effective fault conditioning without risking insulation damage on lower-voltage circuits.

Q2: What is the advantage of the multi-pulse ARC method over conventional TDR?

The XHGG502A's multi-pulse ARC reflection method acquires multiple waveform sets per single HV impulse, effectively eliminating cosine oscillation interference that plagues conventional secondary-pulse techniques. This provides clean, unambiguous fault reflections regardless of cable length, fault distance, or oscillation period — particularly critical for high-resistance and water-ingress faults where standard TDR produces weak or no usable reflections.

Q3: Can one operator manage the complete fault location workflow?

Yes. The system is engineered for efficient field deployment. The pre-locator features a touch-screen interface with automatic waveform analysis. The comprehensive tester provides bar-graph, arrow, and voice guidance for solo cable tracing and depth measurement. The pinpointer weighs only 6.5 kg with >8-hour battery life. For safety during high-voltage operations, a two-person crew is recommended per standard utility protocols, but each individual component is designed for single-operator use.

Q4: What test cables and accessories are included?

The system includes a complete test cable kit: a shielded 50 kV DC-rated high-voltage output cable (core 2.5 mm² red, outer diameter 14 mm, 10 m length) with large spool for safe HV discharge connections, and a 3-column grounding cable set (main core 16 mm², branch conductors 2.5 mm², 10 m length) with small spool. All necessary connection adapters, coupling clamp (Φ150 mm), A-frame for step-voltage detection, chargers, and user manuals are included.

Q5: What are the delivery time, packaging, and purchasing terms?

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