Syscompact 4000

Mobile cable fault location system

Fault location with Syscompact 4000

The Syscompact 4000 is a compact, fully enclosed fault location system for pre-location and pinpointing of high-resistive, low-resistive and intermittent faults on low- and medium-voltage cables. Easy operation and the use of latest fault location methods enable fast and safe fault location.

Location of low-resistive, high-resistive and intermittent cable faults
Efficient cable fault pre-location methods
Pinpointing according to the noise location method or acoustic propagation time measurement
(with Universal Locator and ground microphone)
Sheath fault location according to the step voltage method (with Universal Locator and two measurement probes)
Easy to handle

Robert L’Eplattenier, test engineer and CEO of Gasenzer AG, often travels “in the field” and is even more often in the Swiss mountains.

Customer:
Gasenzer AG, based in Hinwil in Switzerland, specialises in measurement technology and measurement services relating to fault location, testing and condition evaluation of cable systems. The company, which has been operat-ing as a joint stock company (AG) since 1991, has more than half a century of experience. In 1961, electrical engineer Hans Gasenzer established a private company that focused on cable tests and on selling specialist measuring devices. Gasenzer established a close relationship with BAUR right from the beginning and is the exclusive trade partner for BAUR devices in Switzerland.

BAUR solution:
High-resistive faults are made visible with the SIM / MIM method (Secondary Impulse Method / Multiple Impulse Method). Here, the high-resistive fault is „ignited“ by a high voltage impulse and thus is temporarily low-resistive. This helps determine the distance to the fault. This is evaluated and displayed by the device software, e.g. by the Syscompact 2000 or Syscompact 3000 software. The SIM and MIM methods have proven to be particularly advantageous because they help pre-locate faults in up to 98 % of all cases.
