Fault locator : 3432

Product catalog summary

Description
The Fault Locator 3432 is designed to identify the location of short circuits or broken wires without damaging the cable, thus conserving raw materials. It is effective for telephone and electrical installation cables up to 10 mm² and can also be used on thermocouples and coaxial cables. The device uses a comparative method of resistance or capacitance to accurately locate high resistance defects up to 1M and 20 km in length. It is portable, battery-powered, and can also use an external power supply.

COMMUNICATION CABLE MEASUREMENT Fault Locator 3432 to easily identify the location of short circuits or broken wires DESCRIPTION Fault location without cable destruction allows saving substantial quantities of raw material. The 3432 can easily locate short circuits (resistive faults) and cut wires (capacitive faults) in pairs or quads. It is particularly suitable for telephone cables and electrical installation cables up to a crosssection of 10 mm2. It also allows fault location on different materials as thermocouples or coaxial cables. Based on the measurement principle of the comparative method of resistance or capacitance, this unique instrument allows the localization with high accuracy of high resistance defects up to 1M and 20 km in length. Portable and battery-powered, it also accepts an external power supply. Direct display in meters of the fault position Good accuracy of up to 1 M resistor fault Powered from battery or mains supply 115
