The Megger EZ-Thump 12 kV Thumper & TDR Power Cable Fault Locator is purpose-built for rapidly locating and pre-locating faults in low- and medium-voltage power cables, helping maintenance professionals restore service faster while minimising excavation and downtime.
Designed and manufactured by Megger, this portable unit combines a high-voltage surge generator (“thumper”) with a sophisticated time-domain reflectometer (TDR) and Arc Reflection Method (ARM) capability. The result is a compact, battery-powered system that guides users through each test step, from distance-to-fault pre-location to pinpointing with surge energy, all on an intuitive colour touch screen.
Key Features:
- Integrated 12 kV Surge Generator: Delivers controlled high-voltage pulses for acoustic and electromagnetic pinpointing of cable faults.
- Built-in TDR: Offers clear trace analysis for accurate distance-to-fault measurement without damaging the cable.
- Arc Reflection Method (ARM): Combines thumping and TDR techniques to identify high-resistance faults quickly.
- Battery or Mains Operation: Provides true portability for field use in remote or power-limited locations.
- Touch-Screen Interface: Step-by-step menus and automated test sequences simplify operation for both novice and experienced technicians.
- Rugged, Compact Design: Engineered for outdoor environments, with robust wheels and handles for easy site transport.
