TFL 8 Cable Fault Pre-locator

UNDERGROUND CABLE FAULT LOCATING EQUIPMENTS & SYSTEMS

Description
The Cable Fault Pre-locator TFL8 is a latest micro-processor Another Impulse Current method (ICM) is available and use
controlled, menu driven, digital technology to offer precise to for pre-location of low insulation or intermittent nature cable
locate fault distance in any type of metallic cables and easy faults by coupling with high voltage surge tester in low,
to operate with friendly interface. medium and high voltage cables.

It is a portable cable fault locator, easy to use, single-phase The maximum measuring ranges enable for pre-location of
unit for cable fault pre-location of short and open faults by cable faults is 100 km in different selectable ranges.
using the Low Voltage Impulse method / Time Domain
Reflection (TDR) method.

Application
It is used for pre-location of short circuit, open circuit fault distance in Low Voltage Impulse method and low insulation / high
resistance / flashing fault in Impulse Current method ICM with the help of suitable surge tester by power transmission,
distribution network companies and cable fault location service providers.

Features
Two selectable work mode Low Voltage Impulse method Communication with computer through USB port.

 Working Principle
TDR Mode / Low Voltage Impulse Method ICM Mode
A narrow electromagnetic pulse of 5 nsec with a fast rise A Surge tester applies DC high voltage and high energy
time is sent on the cable that reflects back from the fault point surges across the fault to the cable under test that induces a
/ far end where the impedance was change. breakdown or flash over across the fault point in the cable and
the current transient is developed at the fault point .The
The velocity of propagation (VOP) for each cable depending transient waves travels back and forth between the surge
on the cable dimension and di-electric material is set. The tester and the fault point. The current transient is measured
distance to the fault is then computed automatically and using a current transformer with a frequency response
displayed in meters on screen. adequate to resolve only the edges of the current transient.
The distance to the fault is then computed automatically and
displayed in meters on screen.
