A910 - Short circuit locator for power cables.

INTRODUCTION

The A910 is a short circuit locator designed for fault location in power cables. The instrument measures the ratio of the resistances of the two sections of failed conductor using a four-wire "Kelvin" connection, thus eliminating errors associated with contact resistances of the test leads. With the A910 you can determine if the cable has more than a short and locate the first and the last fault. The instrument locates fault with an insulation resistance up to 5 Mohms in cables that have a total resistance greater than 5mohm (approximately 90 m of 300 sqmm cable) and less than 30 kohms. The distance to fault is measured as a percentage of the total length of cable and is displayed on a large LCD display.

Note: for the operation of this locator should be accessible both ends of the cable.


APPLICATIONS

Localization of short circuit in cables wound on reel.
Location of fault present in:
- electric cables.
- telephone cables.
- rf cables
- thermocouple cables.
- enameled wires.
- symmetrical and asymmetrical cables.
