Product Description
Power Cable Fault Locator | XHGX507C1

The XHGX507C1 power cable fault locator is a complete field system for electric power cable maintenance: a 15W high-power transmitter (300V max direct output, 9 adjustable levels) injects a clear tracing signal, while the receiver traces the cable route, measures depth and current in real time, positively identifies the target cable among up to 20 cables, and — with the optional A-frame — pinpoints insulation damage and sheath fault points using the step-voltage method.

Every year, mis-identified cables and inaccurate fault digging cause unnecessary outages, cable damage and safety incidents in power networks. The XHGX507C1 is engineered to close that gap: pre-calibrate up to 20 cables at the near end (numbered L1–L20), then walk to the remote end and let the receiver confirm each cable with a green check icon and beep before any cutting work begins. Combined with a TDR pre-locator, it forms a complete locate – trace – identify – pinpoint workflow for cable fault repair crews.

Applications & Target Audience: Engineered for electric power utilities, cable maintenance engineers, substation operation and maintenance teams, and high-voltage cable departments that trace power cable routes, identify live or de-energized cables before cutting or jointing, and locate insulation and sheath faults with the optional A-frame accessory.

Key Features
  • 15W High-Power Output, 300V Max: The 9-level transmitter with fully automatic impedance matching drives strong, stable signals along long power cable routes, even with poor grounding and heavy soil attenuation.
  • Positive Identification of Live and Dead Cables: Coupling-clamp method identifies live cables without electrical contact; direct connection serves de-energized cables. Calibration values between 75% and 135% with matched current direction confirm the target cable with a green check icon and beep — non-target cables show a red cross.
  • A-Frame Fault Pinpointing: The optional A-frame accessory uses the step-voltage method at 640Hz–3.20kHz to locate insulation damage of insulated pipes, grounding faults of unarmored low-voltage cables and sheath faults of high-voltage cables, with directional arrow guidance to the fault point.
  • Current Direction Analysis: At 640Hz, 1.28kHz, 2.56kHz and 3.20kHz, the receiver compares signal phase so engineers can distinguish the target cable from parallel cables — eliminating the most common cause of wrong tracing in congested cable corridors.
  • Strong Anti-Interference for Live Networks: Ultra-narrowband digital filtering suppresses 50Hz/60Hz power-frequency and harmonic interference from adjacent energized cables; a green/red trust indicator shows whether the reading can be relied upon.
  • Three Signal Injection Methods: Direct connection (strongest signal), coupling clamp (non-contact, for live cables) and induction; neutral/ground wire or sheath injection is available for low-voltage cables in service, performed by qualified power workers.
  • Real-Time Depth and Current (0–20m): Depth accuracy of the center axis within ±5% (0–3m) and −10% (3–20m); the 45° valley and 80% broad-peak manual methods allow on-site verification of automatic readings.
  • Detection Range up to 20km: Direct connection generally reaches 0–20km of cable length and the coupling method 0–10km, covering typical feeder and distribution cable sections.
  • Field-Proven Operation: Sunlight-readable 4.3-inch (receiver) and 5-inch (transmitter) capacitive touch LCDs, FM audio that follows signal strength, and a guided wire-cruise interface that helps operators stay exactly above the line.
  • Rugged and Safe: Integrated special toolbox withstands about 200kg pressure; IEC61010-1 / IEC61326 compliant; built-in batteries support a full working day of field duty.
Cable Fault Pinpointing Workflow
Step Operation
1. Pre-Location Use a TDR cable fault locator to measure the approximate distance to the fault from the test end.
2. Signal Injection Connect the XHGX507C1 transmitter by direct connection (de-energized cable) or coupling clamp (live cable) and select 640Hz–3.20kHz.
3. Route Tracing Walk the receiver along the route to the estimated fault distance, tracking the peak signal and recording depth and current.
4. Cable Identification In multi-cable trenches, clamp the flexible coil on each cable; only the target cable shows a green check with beep.
5. Fault Pinpointing Connect the A-frame to the receiver and follow the direction arrows; the signal drops sharply when the fault lies between the two probes.
6. Verification Rotate the A-frame 90° to confirm the fault position in both axes before excavation.


FAQ
Q1: Who is this cable fault locator designed for?
It is designed for electric power utilities, cable maintenance engineers, substation O&M teams and high-voltage cable departments that need to trace power cable routes, identify cables before cutting, and locate insulation or sheath faults with the optional A-frame.
Q2: Can it identify a live cable before cutting?
Yes. For cables in service, use the coupling clamp or the neutral/ground wire or sheath injection method — no operation is performed on the cable itself and both ends of the sheath must be well grounded. Direct connection output must only be used after the cable is confirmed de-energized and isolated.
Q3: What faults can the A-frame locate?
It locates insulation damage of insulated pipes, grounding faults of unarmored low-voltage cables and sheath failures of high-voltage cables (especially single-core cables), using the step-voltage method at 640Hz–3.20kHz.
Q4: How does the 20-cable identification work?
Calibrate each target cable (L1–L20) at the transmitter end in advance. At the remote end, identification passes when the detection current is ≥0.3mA, falls within 75%–135% of the calibrated value and the current direction matches — shown as a green check with beep.
Q5: What range and depth can it provide?
Direct connection generally traces 0–20km and the coupling method 0–10km. Real-time depth measurement covers 0–20m with center-axis accuracy of ±5% (0–3m) and −10% (3–20m); manual 45° valley and 80% broad-peak methods can verify readings on site.

Used this cable locator for 4 months on DEWA utility projects. Works well even in 45°C summer heat — no overheating issues. Depth readings accurate, multiple frequencies helpful for busy urban areas. Battery lasts full shift.Overall: Solid value for money. Recommended for utility and construction teams in Gulf region.

Полгода в поле с ним таскаюсь — не подводил ни разу. Глубину бьёт точно, частот на все случаи жизни, батарея держит до вечера даже в мороз. Крепкий, как танк, пыль грязь — нипочём. За эти деньги — огонь! Сетевым и подрядчикам советую, не пожалеете.
