Advantages of PTS Portable DC Test Sets: Five range current meter with a 0-1 ua low range for Leakage Current measurements 10 ma output current rating for fast charging Resistance measurements at any output voltage Regulated input for accurate, reliable results (ideal for field generator use) ± 1% stability with ± 10% line change Ripple less than 2.5% RMS Internal HV shorting solenoid with discharge resistor Continuous Duty Operation Automatic transit protected meters Rugged case with cushion grip handles and shorting stick included 1.2 Equipment AC Hipot VLF-4022CM(F) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS A2. AC HIPOT TEST A VLF hipot is just an AC output tester but with an output frequency of 0.1 Hz or lower rather than 50/60Hz. Although the frequency is very low, it is still an alternating current with polarity reversals every half cycle. At 0.1 Hz output, rather than 60Hz, it takes 600 times less current and power to apply an AC voltage to a capacitive load, like a long cable. There is no better way to verify the AC integrity of a cable than to hipot it with AC voltage. VLF hipots are used to provide a go/no-go, or pass/fail, voltage withstand test. It can also be used as the voltage source for diagnostic cable testing. 2
FEATURES Portable and affordable/ Simple and easy operation True sine-wave output/ Highest load ratings available Waveform is independent of load capacitance between 0.01 mf and maximum load AC testing does not degrade good cable insulation Harmful space charges are not injected into the cable insulation No travelling waves are generated during testing Rugged and reliable design less prone to failure from transients Much easier to service compared to units with solid state design CONTROLLED ENERGY CAPACITOR DISCHARGE SYSTEMS SURGE GENERATOR/THUMPER 1.3. CDS-2010U With its 20kV output, the CDS-2010U is good for fault locating cables rated up to 35kv, having a line to ground voltage of 20kV. The high burn current of 400mA can be used to condition a fault to reduce its arc over voltage to permit thumping at a lower and less damaging voltage level, yet still at full energy. The CDS-2010U can thump a cable at just 5kV yet deliver 1000 joules. Find your fault without making more. There is no better thumper. The CDS-2010U offers the complete package: three full joule output voltages, three variable hipot outputs, the highest burn current, rapid discharge rate, tdr/radar ready, and its rugged design holds up to years of use. Another plus: all CDS Thumpers use EPR high voltage output cable rather than XLPE. EPR stays flexible in cold weather. FEATURES Single piece combination Hipot, Burner and Fault Locator Constant energy at each output voltage setting Variable discharge rate from 6 10 seconds Motorized output voltage tap switch Internal Arc Reflection Filter, standard on all units Simplified Controls for minimal operator training Highest burning capability, compared to other units of same size Single pulse or continuous discharge modes Side mounted storage reel to hold cables and accessories Output vise clamps for assured contact to test cable and ground Operation from either line, generator or inverter Manually operated internal heater to minimize excessive moisture buildup 3

It gives the possibility to quickly find distance not only to the low resistance, but also to complicated high resistance faults in power cables without usage of burn down unit (in RF it got a name «nonburning method»). Connecting device is used for the application of this method (photo up right). 1.5. PORTABLE CABLE LOCATOR MEGGER L1070 B.2 Induction Method Capable of locating long or short ranges, inductive or conductive, active or passive, the L1070 delivers quick and accurate results with a user-friendly interface. A special design feature on the 5
L1070 allows the user to select and compare receiver information on two frequencies simultaneously, without having to return to the transmitter. The L1070 features push-button depth measurements up to 15 feet to quickly identify service depths prior to digging. A passive 60 Hz detection services as an excellent safety feature for identifying live underground primary and secondary utility cables. An optional ground return probe allows ground fault detection on unshielded electric services or sheath faults on telephone services through the technique of voltage gradient. FEATURES Multiple transmit/receive frequencies provide accurate long or short range locates. Push-button depth measurements up to 4.6 m quickly identify service depths prior to digging. Passive 60 Hz detection serves as an excellent safety feature for identifying live underground primary and secondary utility cables. Passive detection also allows convenient locating of energized electric services. High power at low frequency solves the difficult multipoint grounded utility locating problem.

System providing electrical safety of laboratory s personnel: Module of grounding control Module of grounding control (further MGC) is intended for monitoring of connections quality in the circuits of protective and working grounding and prohibition of switching of functional modules in case of fault in grounding circuit. For additional control it is used a special grounding rod, which is put in the ground near the LVI. It is connected by insulated wire with terminal «AuE». Resistance of circuit between terminals of working and protective grounding of module MKZ (summarized resistance of wires of protective and working grounding and also places of their junctions), which must not exceed 10 Ohm. If the value is bigger than this it is actuated a blocking relay and on the control panel the indicator Grounding Control blinks off; Potential of terminal «Protective grounding» towards the potential of control grounding rod (actually potential of LVI body towards ground), which must not be more than 25 V. At the excess of this potential the blocking relay is also actuated, and on the control panel the indicator Ground Potential blinks off. D.
