Hipotronics CF30/15-8C

Features and Specifications

The Hipotronics Cable Fault Locator is a portable combination hipot tester, burner, and capacitor discharge fault locating unit (thumper) with completely self-contained high voltage facilities. The units contain a hipot and bum supply for cable proof tests and fault path burning. The thumper provides an energy discharge pulse that can be used to pinpoint power cable faults (ratings for each model covered in this manual are provided in Figure 1). This process can be simplified through the use of a Hipotronics Model M602 HV Radar device and a Model FD202C pick-up device. Each unit contains discharge resistors to bleed charged cables and provide safe, trouble-free operation.

Standard features of the Cable Fault Locators include:

• Single high voltage output cable for all modes
• Isolated and shielded return current path for maximum operator safety
• Precise timed repetition rate
• Zero start interlock and external interlock provisions
• Input circuit breaker for overload protection
• Fully rated discharge system for capacitor bank
• Automatic and manual grounding systems (case and safety grounds)
• Internal strip heater to prevent moisture condensation (CF70 Series only)
• Face panel window for easy viewing of high voltage switch position.
