The HVC-FL3 is a compact system for testing and fault location in low and medium voltage cables. The TS80R reflecto meter 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 32kV (1024J or 3072J optional) — it provides the necessary power to precisely pinpoint cable faults using the acoustic method in conjunction with the RPFA/I fault pinpointing device. The powerful high-voltage source allows for testing at any voltage level between 0 and 32kV.
