Product Description
Target Application: TDR cable fault test system integrators and equipment rental fleet operators needing a compact 200W DC HV source for integration into mobile test systems — optimized for arc reflection and impulse current methods on multi-service cable fault vans.
XHHV508 Series DC High Voltage Power Supply — XHHV508-2 200W

The XHHV508 series DC high voltage power supply fully complies with DL/T846 and DL/T474 standards for high voltage test equipment and on-site insulation testing. Designed for 35kV and below voltage-class cable fault testing — including DC withstand voltage, impulse discharge, and fault point burn-through — this instrument completely replaces traditional test transformer and control box systems that weigh over 70 kg combined.

Built with high-precision, high-stability specialized HV electronic components and high-frequency high-voltage technology, the XHHV508 features a simple, lightweight construction. Its unique short-circuit immune design allows the HV output to operate safely even when directly shorted to ground. As China's lightest portable DC impulse high-voltage equipment with flexible power configuration, it is the ideal instrument for power cable fault detection.

Key Features
  • DC Withstand Voltage and Burn-Through: Dual-mode operation supporting DC withstand testing for cable insulation verification and DC burn-through for converting high-resistance faults to locatable faults at up to 320mA.
  • External Capacitor Interface: Supports 1-16 F external capacitor banks for impulse discharge testing, with the voltmeter continuously monitoring capacitor voltage even in standby mode.
  • Short-Circuit Immune: High-frequency topology inherently survives direct HV-to-ground shorts — eliminates external ballast protection and survives accidental discharge faults without damage.
  • Zero-Start Protection: HV output cannot be initiated unless voltage adjustment is at zero; yellow zero-start indicator confirms safe state before each test cycle.
  • Automatic Self-Discharge: Internal bleed circuit dissipates residual voltage upon HV output stop — voltmeter returns to zero confirming safe state without requiring immediate manual discharge.
  • Dual 1.5-Grade Pointer Meters: Analog HV voltmeter and LV ammeter provide real-time visual indication of discharge dynamics, arc establishment, and residual voltage.
  • Comprehensive Protection: Over-current (12A, >8S), over-voltage, and over-temperature (65 C) automatic protection with manual reset — built for continuous field operation from -25 C to +65 C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why is the 200W model preferred for TDR system integration?
The XHHV508-2 200W model provides an optimal power-to-weight ratio for integrated test systems. At only 20 kg, it can be permanently rack-mounted in a mobile cable fault test van without exceeding vehicle payload limits (455 x 360 x 360mm). The 200W output charges standard 2-8 F capacitors to 32kV within seconds — matching pulse repetition rates for TDR arc reflection. For fleet operators, the lower power consumption reduces generator sizing requirements, enabling a single compact generator to power the complete test system.
Q2: How does the external capacitor interface work with different TDR methods?
The instrument supports external capacitor banks from 1 F to 16 F, selectable based on the cable under test. For short distribution cables (<1km), 1-2 F capacitors provide sharp impulse rise times for high-resolution TDR reflection analysis. For long transmission cables (>5km), 8-16 F capacitors store sufficient energy (up to 8kJ at 32kV) for detectable reflections. The voltmeter continuously monitors capacitor voltage even when HV output is off, and capacitor discharge returns through a separate ground path to protect internal circuitry.
Q3: What makes pointer meters advantageous for TDR arc reflection work?
The analog pointer meter provides real-time visual indication of the voltage collapse pattern during arc reflection — the needle's rate of fall, rebound behavior, and final resting position reveal critical information about fault resistance, moisture content, and whether full breakdown was achieved. Digital displays, which sample at discrete intervals, can miss rapid transient behavior essential for confirming successful arc establishment. The dual-meter configuration enables simultaneous monitoring of discharge energy and arc current.
Q4: Can this power supply be integrated with existing TDR and cable fault location instruments?
Yes. The XHHV508-2 is designed as a modular high-voltage source compatible with any standard cable fault test system. The HV output connects to the external capacitor bank and sphere gap via standard high-voltage cable with appropriate terminations. The instrument operates independently of the TDR/measurement unit — it provides the HV charging function while the TDR unit handles signal acquisition and analysis. This separation follows industry-standard architecture and is compatible with TDR units from all major manufacturers.
Q5: What reliability features support rental fleet and continuous service operation?
Key durability features: (1) Short-circuit immune output — HV section withstands accidental direct shorts without damage; (2) Over-temperature protection at 65 C with automatic thermal shutdown; (3) Wide operating temperature range (-25 C to +65 C) for year-round deployment in unheated test vans; (4) Simple analog controls with no software dependencies — minimizing calibration and compatibility issues between fleet units; (5) Field-replaceable 8A fuse protection on the AC input side.
