Product Description
Product Overview

A cable fault pinpointer is designed to help technicians identify the physical location of a suspected underground cable fault after the fault distance has been estimated using a suitable pre-location method.

For compatible high-voltage impulse testing applications, acoustic-electromagnetic pinpointing equipment detects electromagnetic signals and ground-borne acoustic responses associated with the test event. Comparing the timing and strength of these signals helps operators narrow down the suspected fault location.

Sansion Power offers cable fault pinpointing solutions for professional cable maintenance and repair applications.

Key Functions
  • Acoustic signal detection for compatible impulse-generated fault events.
  • Electromagnetic signal detection.
  • Acoustic-electromagnetic signal comparison or synchronization, depending on the model.
  • Adjustable signal sensitivity where supported.
  • Headphone or visual indication functions where available.
  • Field operation for underground cable fault investigation.
Typical Applications
  • Underground power cable repair.
  • Distribution network maintenance.
  • Fault investigation after TDR pre-location.
  • Electrical maintenance contractors.
  • Cable testing and repair service companies.
Why Do Customers Need a Pinpointer?

A pre-location instrument estimates how far a fault is from the test point. However, the physical fault may still need to be located in the field.

A suitable pinpointer helps technicians narrow down the suspected location before excavation, reducing unnecessary investigation and helping organize repair work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is a pinpointer the same as a TDR cable fault locator?

No. TDR is commonly used for fault distance pre-location. A pinpointer helps identify the physical fault location in suitable field conditions.

Q2: Can an acoustic pinpointer work without an impulse generator?

For systems relying on impulse-generated acoustic responses, a suitable compatible impulse source and testing arrangement may be required. Confirm the system configuration before purchase.

Q3: Does soil type affect pinpointing?

Soil composition, surface conditions, burial depth, background noise, and fault characteristics may affect acoustic detection.

Q4: Can it locate every cable fault?

No. Performance depends on whether the fault produces detectable signals and whether the selected technique is appropriate.

Q5: What should I confirm before purchasing?

Check compatibility with the pre-location instrument and impulse generator, supported fault types, operating modes, accessories, and training availability.
