SG5.500 Compact High Voltage Surge Generator

The SG5.500 Compact is a lightweight high-voltage surge generator designed for low-voltage cable fault testing and insulation diagnostics. Delivering 0–5 kV DC output with 500 J surge energy, it supports DC withstand testing, TDR methods, ICM impulse current, and MIM/ARC multiple impulse methods (with TDR.950A). Compatible with the GM Series acoustic pinpointing receivers, this 22 kg portable system is optimized for field crews who need mobility, safety, and essential fault location functions.
