Product Description
XHHG521B — Galvanometer Balance Bridge System
XHHG521B Detection Photos

The XHHG521B is a precision cable sheath fault detection unit based on the MURRAY bridge principle. Equipped with a high-sensitivity amplifier and galvanometer balance indication system, it delivers exceptional accuracy for locating high-resistance breakdown points in power cables.

Key features include 5000V no-load voltage with 100mA short-circuit current capacity, a special double-core high-voltage rubber cable with four-terminal resistance measurement to eliminate lead errors, and an integrated 12806 display with automatic cable length calculation. The galvanometer balance method eliminates blind zones entirely, making it ideal for short cables and faults near cable ends.

  • MURRAY bridge principle with galvanometer balance for ±(0.1%·L±1)m positioning accuracy
  • 5000V no-load voltage with 100mA short-circuit current for challenging high-resistance faults
  • High-sensitivity amplifier with galvanometer indication for precise balance point detection
  • Four-terminal resistance measurement eliminates lead and contact resistance errors
  • Integrated automatic fault distance calculation via cable length input
  • Zero blind area — effective for short cables and near-end breakdowns
XHHD523L — High-Voltage Cable Sheath Fault Pinpoint Locator

The XHHD523L is a professional-grade high-voltage output unit designed for fast and accurate pinpoint location of cable sheath faults. With 0~10kV adjustable square wave output and up to 200mA output current at 2kVA capacity, it fully complies with GB50150-2006 standards for cable outer sheath testing.

It features a wide frequency adjustment range from 0.2Hz to 5Hz, one-button switching between pin-pointing and withstand voltage testing modes, and zero protection for safe operation. The receiver sensitivity is fully adjustable to optimize signal detection across varying field conditions and cable burial depths.

  • 0~10kV adjustable output voltage for versatile testing across all cable voltage levels
  • 0~200mA output current at 2kVA capacity for demanding fault scenarios
  • Frequency adjustable from 0.2Hz to 5Hz for optimal signal penetration
  • One-button toggle between pin-pointing mode and DC withstand voltage testing
  • Fully adjustable receiver sensitivity for diverse field conditions
  • Integrated zero protection and over-current safeguards

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the differences between XHHG521B and XHHD523L?
The XHHG521B is the precision balance bridge unit that uses the MURRAY bridge principle with galvanometer indication for high-accuracy fault distance measurement (±0.1%·L±1m). The XHHD523L is the high-voltage output and pinpoint location unit that provides 0~10kV adjustable output with 0.2~5Hz frequency control for field-based fault pinpointing and DC withstand voltage testing. Together they form a complete cable sheath fault detection system.
Q2: What makes the galvanometer balance bridge method superior?
The galvanometer balance bridge provides extremely high sensitivity for detecting high-resistance breakdown points that other methods struggle with. It has zero blind zones — unlike wave reflection methods that fail on short cables and near cable ends. The four-terminal measurement eliminates lead resistance errors, and the automatic calculation via the 12806 display significantly reduces testing time.
Q3: What types of cable faults can this combined system detect?
The system handles three primary fault types: (1) high-resistance breakdown points at cable intermediate joints; (2) flashover-type breakdowns where the constant current source maintains stable arc conditions; and (3) low-resistance insulation defects detected by megohmmeter that have not yet fully broken down, enabling preventive maintenance.
Q4: Can this system perform both pin-pointing and withstand voltage testing?
Yes. The XHHD523L unit includes a one-button toggle between pin-pointing mode (using square wave step voltage method for precise fault location) and DC withstand voltage testing mode (performing 5kV-10kV 1-minute tests per GB50150-2006 standards). This eliminates the need for two separate instruments.
