Product catalog summary
Overview
b2 electronics specializes in high voltage testing and diagnostics equipment, focusing on Very Low Frequency (VLF) test sets and transformer oil testers. Their products are designed for medium and high voltage cable diagnostics and testing, emphasizing innovation and customer partnership.

VLF Cable Diagnostics
VLF diagnostics are essential for early detection of cable vulnerabilities, preventing breakdowns. Partial Discharge (PD) diagnostics help locate and fix damages, improving network stability and reducing costs. Tan Delta (TD) diagnostics assess the dielectric condition of cables, particularly useful for detecting water trees in aged cables.

VLF Cable Testing
VLF testing is a standardized method for assessing cable conditions, preferred over DC testing due to its non-damaging nature to aged cables. It is suitable for various insulation types and recommended by major standards like IEEE 400.2 and IEC 60502-2.

Transformer Oil Testing
b2 electronics offers ultra-light breakdown analyzers for transformer oil testing, both in labs and on-site. These testers comply with international standards and feature automated test sequences.

Software Solutions
b2 provides software solutions for data acquisition, test sequence customization, and reporting. The b2 ControlCenter and b2 Suite offer remote control and diagnostics capabilities, enhancing safety and usability.

Product Portfolio
The portfolio includes VLF cable testing, diagnostics, and transformer oil testing equipment. The HVA series offers compact, portable VLF test sets with features like pure sinusoidal output, safety mechanisms, and programmability.

HVA VLF Cable Test Sets
These test sets are designed for portability and continuous operation, with features like non-arcing contacts and modularity for diagnostics system expansion. They support various testing modes and are available in trolley versions for ease of handling.

smartVLF® Cable Test Sets
These sets are lightweight and powerful, offering integrated TD diagnostics and optional Arc Pre-Location (APL) for efficient fault location. They are designed for medium voltage cables and comply with international testing guides.

Advanced Features
smartVLF® sets include features like Bluetooth connectivity, IP67 protection, and Monitored Withstand Test (MWT) capabilities. They offer high accuracy TD measurements and are maintenance-free due to their oil-free design.

Conclusion
b2 electronics provides comprehensive solutions for high voltage testing and diagnostics, emphasizing innovation, reliability, and customer support. Their products are designed to meet international standards and offer advanced features for efficient and safe testing.
