Description Hipotronics CET-1500
Capacitive Discharge Cable Fault Locator is designed to fill
the requirement between the highly portable 5100 First
Response Fault Locating System and the higher voltage/energy
CF70 Series Capacitive Discharge Fault Locators. The CET-1500
combines high discharge voltage with high discharge energy to
allow location of a wide variety of cable faults, especially
when used with a Hipotronics HV Digital TDR.
In addition, the
controlled energy capability is quite beneficial for testing
of XLPE cable where a lower “thump” voltage but higher energy
is best. The CET-1500 is available in a standard 30" cabinet
for easy van mounting (optional cabinets are available when
combined with a TDR and coupler).
The package is very
lightweight and portable for the voltage and energy rating.
The standard 5 ft. output cable easily connects to a
Hipotronics 8100 Cable Reel with a lockable MC connector. A
standard MC locking plier termination is included. Additional
types of cables and terminations may also be purchased.
