SSG 500 Surge voltage generator
The SSG 500 is used to generate surge and DC voltage and can be used for the pre-location and pin-pointing of cable faults in buried power cables, in particular low voltage cables.
Manufactory: BAUR (Austria).
Description
The SSG 500 surge voltage generator is arranged in a 19'' housing. Maximum safety is achieved with the electrical safety control unit, the automatic discharge unit, the fully enclosed design and separate protective and operational earthing.
The device generates surge voltages of 4 / 8 / 16 kV or 3 / 6 / 12 kV. In surge mode, the charge of the HV capacitors can be discharged to the faulty cable manually or automatically, as required, at a rate of 10 or 20 surges/min. When the device is switched off, the HV output is automatically discharged.
Features
- 6 selectable surge voltages up to 16 kV
- High output current up to DC 480 mA
- Automatic surge mode or manual triggering of voltage surges
- Rapid surge sequence up to 20 surges/min
- Surge energy up to 512 J (can be switched to 56 %)
- Electromagnetically actuated surge switch
- Voltmeter with 3 display ranges
- Safety control unit according to DIN EN 50191
- Integrated automatic discharge unit
- Overcurrent protection switch with thermal and magnetic triggering
- Connection option for external emergency off unit with signal lamps
