PFL Series
Description
The PFL-1000, PFL-4000, and
PFL-5000 Power Fault Locator Systems were developed in response to
a power industry requirement for compact, yet powerful fault
location systems for underground residential distribution (URD)
systems.
All three systems
integrate the tools of cable fault locating into one package:
dc/tester burner, surge generator, and radar coupling. When
configured with the DARTŪ Cable Analysis System, the instruments
provide the following fault location techniques:
The PFL-1000 is designed
for installation into the tool bin of a utility service truck.
High discharge energy ensures maximum performance on short,
medium, or long URD loop circuits. The PFL-4000 is designed for
portability featuring all the basic fault locating tools in one
rugged base package. It is a flexible stand-alone unit with the
capability of mounting the DARTŪ in a hinged lid.
The PFL-5000 provides all
basic fault locating tools in a convenient vehicle-mount package
and is the ideal solution for outfitting URD trouble vehicles with
a powerful fault locating system.
The PFL-1000, PFL-4000,
and PFL-5000 deliver a maximum energy surge of 1536 Joules at 16
kV, providing necessary energy to condition and break down faults
in cable, joints, and terminations. The systems also provide a 20
kV proof tester and a 60 mA burner for testing and
conditioning
cable faults.
They are the perfect
tools for isolating a faulted cable section between transformers
with one surge and measuring distance to the fault. |
