Additional Equipment for Power Fault Locating Equipment

Acoustic/Electromagnetic
Surge Detector

The SD-3000 has been designed to pinpoint faults in shielded, direct buried cables by detecting both the electromagnetic and acoustic pulses emitted from an arcing fault when it is surged. Either single or dual detector configurations are available.

As a single detector, the set provides detection of acoustic emission, measurement of time delay between acoustic and electromagnetic signals, and distance to the fault. If a second detector is added, the set will also display the direction to the fault. The SD-3000 can be used with PFL Systems or with surge generators of other manufacturers.

Electromagnetic Impulse Detector
The Electromagnetic Impulse Detector has been designed to localize faults on buried cable by detecting the magnitude and polarity of current established on a cable during surging with a surge generator.


The instrument is composed of an amplifier module,
sheath coil, and carrying case. It is typically used on
network systems to isolate a fault between manholes.

An optional earth frame and surface coil are available.
The Electromagnetic Impulse Detector can be used with
PFL Systems or with surge generators of other
manufacturers.
