CDS-3616U(F)
Network Systems Thumper
Overview
The CDS-3616U(F) is ideal for network systems or other fault locating scenarios where cables rated up to 69 kV, oil-insulated cables, and/or long cable lengths prevail. The powerful 1600 joule pulse makes fault location easier using acoustical and electromagnetic detection devices. With 280 mA of burn current, faults can be rapidly reduced to low voltage levels, permitting thumping at lower and less damaging voltage levels. The CDS-3616U can thump at 9 kV, 18 kV, or 36 kV while delivering 1600 joules.
Features:
- Constant energy, three output voltage taps at full energy
- Fully variable hipot output on all voltage taps
- TDR-ready, arc-reflection and current pulse methods
- Built in high voltage coupler for TDR interconnect
- Variable discharge rate
- High burn currents
- Thumper equipped with 10’/3 m output cable with MC connection to reel
- Rugged, transit protected meters
- External interlock
- Emergency OFF mushroom switch
- Plexiglass viewing panel for positive ground indication
- Internal heater to limit condensation
