The Signal Generator for Cable Sheath Fault Location is a professional portable high voltage testing instrument dedicated to detecting and pinpointing faults on EHV power cable outer sheaths. Integrated with an internal high-voltage constant current source, it supports stepless adjustment of output voltage and current, and permits continuous short-circuit operation.
Built-in multi-safety protections such as ground interlock and zero-voltage startup effectively prevent electric hazards. With sufficient output current, it can also conduct cable sheath DC withstand voltage tests. Flexible power supply modes are available: the main transmitter works with mains power or generators, while supporting sensors and receivers run on dry batteries, perfectly suited for all kinds of outdoor on-site power maintenance projects.

Product Features
- The high-voltage signal source for EHV cable sheath faults comes with a built-in high-voltage constant current source. Its output voltage and current are continuously adjustable, and it supports long-term short-circuit operation at the output terminal.
- Equipped with multiple safety protection mechanisms including ground interlock and high-voltage zero-position startup to ensure operation safety.
- It delivers large output current, which facilitates DC withstand voltage tests on cable sheaths efficiently.
- The transmitter can be powered by mains electricity or generators; the matched sensors and receiver adopt dry batteries for power supply.
Purpose
This signal generator is specially developed for locating insulation breakdown and grounding faults on the outer sheath of high-voltage & extra-high voltage power cables.
It outputs adjustable low-frequency pulsating DC high voltage to inject signals into faulty cable sheaths. Cooperated with matched receiving equipment, technicians can rapidly pinpoint the exact fault point on-site.
Besides fault hunting, it can also perform DC withstand voltage tests for cable sheath inspection, widely applied in power grid maintenance, cable engineering acceptance and routine cable insulation checking projects.
