SMART THUMP ST16 Portable Cable Fault Location System ■ Delivers 1500 J at 8/16 kV ■ 16-kV DC high voltage proof test and insulation resistance test ■ Easy Go automatic test sequence to proof test, prelocate and pinpoint ■ Interprets test results for user ■ 5.7 in. transflective color display ■ Safety / grounding check ■ USB interface DESCRIPTION The SMART THUMP ST16 Portable Cable Fault Locating System provides safe, efficient and extremely easy-to-use solutions for quickly identifying, prelocating and pinpointing various types of cable faults for power cables. The ST16 was developed to meet the requirements for typical low- and medium-voltage distribution cable fault location markets. Circuit parameters include: ■ System voltage up to 35 kV ■ Insulation EPR or XLPE ■ Typical conductor sizes between #2 and 500 MCM (34 mm2 to 250 mm2) ■ Typical circuit lengths from a few hundred feet (100 m) up to 3 miles (17,000 ft or 5,000 m) Typical end users include: operations department of power utility companies, electrical departments within municipalities including street light maintenance, private network operators, high voltage electrical contractors, service companies, port authorities, mining, airports, military bases, petrochemical and paper companies. The ST16 unit incorporates HDW's "E-Tray" technology, a concept that has been already proven in other products (EZ-Thump, EZ-Restore Overdrive, and TDR T3090) and which will be carried forward into new Megger products in the future. The E-Tray adds the unique capability to access and operate every function through an innovative and intuitive user interface, without the need to make adjustments and the software suggesting the next logical step. APPLICATIONS The SMART THUMP ST16 represents a new generation of advanced underground cable fault locating systems that require less training than a traditional thumper-only system. It is the only fault locator with built-in intelligence to interpret the results of the initial test sequence. The "turn & click" rotary button operation lets the user automatically proof test, pre-locate, and pinpoint the fault from one convenient control console. No adjustments are required. The unit automatically sets the thump voltage to minimize the stress applied to the cable. The ST16 features an automatic safety check to protect the user from incorrect or faulty ground connections (F-Ohm). The heavy-duty wheels of the unit are ideal for use in rough terrain. The ST16 is capable of being permanently installed in a vehicle (truck mount version). FEATURES AND BENEFITS This fully inegrated system can be operated from either its internal battery/inverter, external 12 VDC or 120/230 VAC. Additional features are: ■ “Quick-Steps" is especially convenient where operators may not be called upon to use the equipment on a regular basis ■ “Expert Mode" provides up to 20 individual TDR features to the experienced user for optimum fault locating results ■ Custom configurable menus for the TDR function ■ DC testing up to 16 kV with indication of insulation resistance value ■ Rugged, powder coated IP54 designed enclosure ■ Safe Op check protects user from incorrect and/or faulty ground connections (F-Ohm) ■ Easy Go operation eliminates lengthy training ■ Quick access to all components in case of service
