STX40 Portable cable fault locating system The lightweight champion with the heavyweight`s punch

STX40 – Second to none! Made for demanding outdoor use Fault location systems have to meet steep requirements to be considered truly portable and thus outdoor-ready for use in the field. Units must be lightweight, rugged, inured to hostile and challenging environments, very mobile in adverse terrain and as compact in size as possible. Units must also be operable in rain as well as in very bright daylight conditions with intense sunshine. The STX40 is the only fault locating unit in its class with such a degree of outdoor-readiness. No competitor comes even close. The STX40 is weatherproof thanks...

Superconvenient “Turn&Click” control interface The STX40 is far ahead of all of its challengers; it is the only fault locating unit in its class to offer an intuitive software-based graphic user interface, which can be operated either by a single rotary knob or via the display’s touchscreen function. Navigating the menus is straightforward and self-explanatory. The typical fault location steps are embedded as a logical sequence which can be easily followed. Unlike older units with their extreme overload in terms of knobs, buttons, levers and variacs, the STX40 is a fully automated system. The...

The most powerful portable fault location system in the market Integration The STX40 redefines the state-of-the-art: as a complete package it comes with all necessary fault locating components fully integrated in a single robust housing. The STX40 comes with an in-built TDR of the Teleflex® type for time domain reflectometry, furthermore with an insulation testing unit, a very powerful high voltage DC source, a multi-stage surge wave generator (thumper) for pinpointing with the digiPHONE+2, a high frequency burner for fault conversion, and a set of standard radar-based and transient prelocation...

The STX is the only system in its class with 7 fault locating methods built-in: ■ TDR-based prelocation and additionally ■ Insulation resistance testing ■ Time Domain Reflectometry (Radar) ■ HV DC proof testing (DC hipot) ■ Burning transient prelocation methods ■ Surging/Thumping in multiple voltage stages ■ Sheath testing and Sheath fault pinpointing To do proof testing with DC if necessary, and as a technical means to perform fault identification, fault conditioning and charging during capacitor discharge Fault identification To tell apart and to identify different types of faults, by means...

Performance otherwise only possible in cable test vans Hipot and Proof testing High voltage output Fault identification Insulation evaluation Teleflex® Up to 50 V Distance-dependent de-attenuation +22 dB Phase comparison Mode for locating intermittent faults (IFL) No-User-Intervention auto mode Auto-ranging cable end recognition Auto-find cursor to fault position Up to 32 kV inductive coil-type filter Multishot: 15 fault traces per arc reflection shot Pinpointing Surging/Thumping 8 / 16 / 32 kV with 2000 / 2000 / 2000 J Optionally available: additional 4 kV stage with 1100 J Fast surge cycle...

Watch video Paper-lead cables will not knock out the STX Old paper-lead cables pose a big challenge when fault locating due to their different physical construction compared to modern solid dielectric cables: Instead of having to deal with carbon and air like in faulted XLPE- or EPR-insulated cables, PILC cables are made of lapped paper impregnated with mass or oil. Breaking down a fluid insulation medium, igniting and stabilising an arc in a fluid, and capturing useful fault traces with the radar is all far more difficult on paper cables than on solid dielectric cables. In particular, breakdown...
