The HVC-FL1 is a compact system for testing and fault location in low and medium voltage cables. The TS80R reflectometer features the most advanced pre-location methods, including TDR and IF-TDR (Time Domain Reflection and Intermittent TDR), ICE (Impulse Current), ARM and M-ARM (Arc Reflection Method and Multiple ARM), and DECAY (Voltage Decay).

With its energy peak of 2048J across four ranges—4, 8, 16, and 32 kV (1024J — 3072J optional)—it provides the necessary power to accurately detect cable faults using the acoustic method with the RPF A/I fault pinpointing device. The powerful high-voltage source allows testing at any voltage level between 0 and 32 kV.

Typical Configuration:

Control module
Reflectometer TS 80R
Tone generator RGT 100R
Range switching switch (4, 8, 16, or 32 kV)
Function switching switch
(Filter, Direct, and Signal)

Cable reels with 50 meters or a side reel with 20 meters can be chosen:

Output cable for high voltage (AT);
Safety ground cable
Operational ground cable
Power supply cable
