Cable Fault Location: Straightforward and Efficient


Cable Fault Location System

Portable Cable Fault Location System SWG-12/1100R

The worldwide problem of the aging cable infrastructure brings about a greater than ever need for power cable maintenance testing and fault locating. Despite the common guidelines for cable fault location to be done by experienced professionals only, the circumstances frequently demand staff with insufficient fault locating skills to perform cable testing.

For this reason the industry has seen an increase in the demand for fault locating equipment flexibility, enabling both expert technicians and newbies to cable testing to efficiently diagnose cables and locate cable faults.

Suitable for testing of medium voltage cables up to 12 kV, KEP’s  SWG-12/1100R portable cable fault location system keeps up with the industry’s requirements, providing cable testing simplicity, accuracy and safety to the user. The system combines a surge wave generator and a time domain reflectometer, which enables accurate diagnostics and precise pinpointing of cable faults.


Rather than having to choose between alternative cable testing techniques, with the SWG-12/1100R the user has the possibility to utilize the synergistic effect of the most popular fault locating techniques in a single cable test system. As the tester features both a surge wave generator and a time domain reflectometer (TDR), it helps to solve a range of objectives related to the cable testing process, including cable diagnostics, fault pre-location and pinpointing.

To make the process of cable fault location more straightforward for users with a lack of relevant skills, the cable test system features testing in the automatic mode. The intuitive control panel and user-friendly software further facilitate error-free testing. Also, the more experienced users can benefit from the manual mode, allowing to specify the test parameters and sequence.

The high levels of cable testing efficiency are achieved due to the powerful surge wave generator, which significantly speeds up testing of power cables, known for their high capacitance.

On account of the high voltage nature of power cable testing, a critical requirement to cable fault locating equipment is safety, both to the user and the equipment being tested. In the SWG-12/1100R the combination of a thumper and a TDR tester allows to bring down the cable load to the minimum, while safety checks prior to the beginning of testing prevent high voltage hazards caused by improper earth connections.

Perhitungan & Cara Merubah Kumparan Blender Dari 220 V Menjadi 12 V

          Seperti yang telah dijelaskan pada buku “menggulung motor listrik arus bolak-balik, servis peralatan listrik rumah tangga kelompok penggerak dan perbaikan peralatan listrik pertukangan”, bahwa motor penggerak yang digunakan pada perlatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan seperti blender, mixer, bor tembak, gerinda dsb menggunakan jenis motor universal. Motor universal adalah jenis motor listrik yang dapat disuplai dengan sumber listrik arus bolak-balik (AC) dan arus searah (DC). Jadi peralatan-peralatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan tersebut yang biasanya kita suplai dengan sumber listrik AC dari PLN atau Genset sebesar 220 V sebenarnya dapat juga kita suplai dengan sumber listrik DC yang tentunya tegangan juga harus sama yakni 220 V.           Yang menjadi permasalahan bagaimana kalau peralatan listrik rumah tangga atau pertukangan tersebut, sebagai contoh misalkan blender yang ingin digunakan atau dioper...

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Saluran Listrik Jenis Saluran Udara dan Saluran Bawah Tanah

Berdasarkan pemasangannya,   saluran distribusi dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu : saluran udara (overhead line) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kawat penghantar yang ditompang pada tiang listrik. Sedangkan saluran bawah tanah (underground cable) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kabel-kabel yang ditanamkan di dalam tanah. 1.    Saluran Bawah Tanah (Underground Lines) Saluran distribusi yang menyalurkan energi listrik melalui kabel yang ditanam didalam tanah. Kategori saluran distribusi seperti ini adalah yang favorite untuk pemasangan di dalam kota, karena berada didalam tanah, maka tidak mengganggu keindahan kota dan juga tidak mudah terjadi gangguan akibat kondisi cuaca atau kondisi alam. Namun juga memilik kekurangan, yaitu mahalnya biaya investasi dan sulitnya menentukan titik gangguan dan perbaikannya. Kedua cara penyaluran memiliki keuntungan dan kerugian masing-masing. Keuntungan yang dapat diperoleh dari suatu jaringan bawah...
