The ETL-80v

The ETL-80V Cable Test & Fault Locating System is a modular high-voltage solution for accurate cable diagnostics up to 80 kV. It combines DC testing, powerful fault burning, and surge generation with advanced RIF-9 Time-Domain Reflectometer modes for precise fault pre-location. With integrated route tracing and pinpointing tools, the ETL-80V delivers reliable performance for utilities and service teams in locating and repairing cable faults efficiently.

Key Features

  • DC cable testing up to 80 kV

  • Burning up to 20 kV / 40 A

  • Surge energy up to 2560 J

  • Precise fault pre-locating with Time-Domain Reflectometer RIF-9 supporting:

    • TDR mode

    • Arc-Reflection mode

    • Impulse Current mode

    • Voltage coupling mode

    • Automatic test procedure

  • Cable route tracing using a 200 W low-frequency generator and receiver

Application

The ETL-80V is a modular high-voltage test and fault location system designed for comprehensive diagnostics of power cables. It is widely used by utilities, contractors, and maintenance teams for:

  • DC cable testing up to 80 kV

  • Converting high-resistive faults into low-resistive faults using a burn generator

  • Pre-locating faulty sections with the RIF-9 Time-Domain Reflectometer

  • Cable route tracing with a 200 W low-frequency generator and receiver

  • Precise pinpointing with a surge wave generator and ground microphone

Optional Accessories

  • LFG-50 / LFG-200p – Low-frequency generators for route tracing

  • PT-14 Tracer – Cable route and fault location receiver

  • RIF-9 – Advanced Time-Domain Reflectometer
