Safety and profitability. Cable fault pre-location with the BAUR IRG 3000.

The IRG 3000 impulse reflection measurement unit locates cable faults in single- and three-phase cable systems in conjunction with a surge voltage generator. Up to 98% of faults can be located with just the SIM/MIM method. The memory capacity of more than 100,000 measurements saves reporting time and makes full utilisation possible. Integrated resistance measurement makes additional equipment unnecessary.

The Windowsbased software provides a comprehensive set of functions and can be operated in the relevant local language. Simultaneous display of up to three measuring methods enables simple comparison and evaluation.

Optionally, the PHG VLF sine wave test generator, the tan delta (TD) dissipation factor measurement system, and the partial discharge (PD) measurement and location system can be integrated.

The IRG 3000 offers the possibility of upgrade to a diagnostic system. The very low frequency sinusoidal high voltage generator - PHG, the dissipation factor measuring system - TD, and partial discharge measurement/ location systems can be added to the IRG 3000 at a later stage to make it into a test and diagnostic system - PHG TD/PD.
