Cable Fault Location System

A combined cable fault locating workflow for power cable teams that need distance-to-fault guidance first, then accurate acoustic-magnetic pinpointing before excavation.

Cable Fault Location System
Best fitPower cable repair teams that need one workflow from fault distance to dig point.
Decision guide

Choose Fault locator kit When...

  • The job needs both pre-location and final pinpointing rather than a single handheld tester.
  • The cable fault is high resistance, flashover, open circuit or grounding related.
  • The team wants a portable system that can support utility maintenance and infrastructure diagnostics.
Field benefit

What This Product Helps The Crew Do.

01

Pre-location before excavation

Use TDR and impulse-current style methods to estimate the fault distance before moving to surface pinpointing.

Reduces trial excavation and keeps the repair area focused.
02

Acoustic-magnetic pinpointing

Pair the system with a pin-pointer so the operator can confirm the discharge point from the surface.

Helps crews dig once and restore service faster.
03

Built for field repair workflows

The kit is positioned for cable repair, utility maintenance and infrastructure diagnostics where reliability and portability matter.

Gives a complete decision path instead of separate, disconnected tools.
