Centrix 2.0 – the most innovative product from Megger Centrix 2.0 is the world’s most modern and powerful cable test van system for fast, easy and non-destructive fault location up to 33 kV class cable. The van’s unique operating concept uses automatic measurement sequences, a touch display, and JogDial to simplify operation. Faults can be located quickly, even by inexperienced users. Equipped with the latest generation of cable diagnostics in conjunction with powerful VLF testing technology, Centrix 2.0 makes it possible to perform standard-compliant cable testing with simultaneous partial...

10 good reasons for Centrix 2.0 Centrix 2.0 sets new standards regarding user friendliness and performance: Linux®-based control system – for maximum system stability and security Intuitive easyGO® operation using the 21.5” touch display and JogDial Step-by-step operator guide for inexperienced users Data automatically recorded and stored in the history database Decay plus double impulse procedure up to 80 kV ARM® burning Highest standard of safety with SafeDischarge technology Simultaneous testing and diagnosis with new 50 Hz slope technology System powered by Li-ion batteries 10 Remote...

System control made simple Centrix 2.0 is operated either by touch display or JogDial. The powerful computer has a 21.5“ touch display, a hard drive scalable to your needs, and an integrated recovery system. This ensures the security and stability of the system over its entire service life. The Linux® operating system is completely maintenance-free: No viruses, no defragmenting, no expensive antivirus programs. The system controls are kept separate from the office application and graphic information systems (GIS) to ensure optimal stability and security. Office applications, Geomap and...

Centrix 2.0 thinks ahead The system continuously determines the optimal measurement parameters for the corresponding operating mode. The next logical operating step is automatically preselected by the system and the user only needs to confirm it. If necessary, fine adjustments can be made manually at any time. By minimising the number of operating elements, we maximise the user-friendliness of the system, allowing even inexperienced users to locate faults with a high degree of accuracy. Automatic data recording All measurements are automatically saved in the database, preventing the loss of...

Unique technologies that inspire Pre-location Teleflex® VX – the world’s most powerful reflectometer and prelocation device When using reflection measurement, intelligent algorithms determine the necessary setting parameters to allow for ■■ utomatic measurement range A configuration ■■ Automatic amplification control ■■ Automatic cable end measurement ■■ Automatic fault location measurement ProRange The ProRange function allows a distance-adapted gain, which enables better detection of distant failure points, far-off joints, and cable ends. This new feature is especially advantageous for...

ARM®-Multishot ARM® multi-shot technology makes it possible to display 15 fault traces per surge pulse. Automated analysis supports the user and immediately displays the best result – a very useful feature for wet and oil-filled joints. ARM® burning The ARM® burn method allows the user to observe the arc burning process at the fault location using the reflection measurement. This method is particularly useful for difficult faults in oil-filled joints. ARM® -Plus / Decay-Plus Double impulse procedure The double impulse procedure was specifically developed for long, high-voltage cables. The...

Sheath testing and sheath fault location Sheath testing Sheath fault tests can be performed at up to 20 kV on plastic-insulated, medium-voltage and high-voltage cables. Sheath Fault Prelocation Up to 10 kV output voltage, highly sensitive equipment, and fully automatic measurement procedure make the detection of high-impedance sheath faults in long cables much simpler. This technology is also suitable for the location of insulation faults in long on- and offshore cables. Special features: ■ Bi-polar pre-location technology eliminates thermoelectric offset voltages and galvanic effects (wet...

Cable testing and diagnostics Insulation test Insulation resistance and test object capacitance are automatically measured with up to 1000 V test voltage. DC testing DC testing is possible with a voltage of up to 40 kV (optional 80 kV). VLF test according to DIN VDE 0276 Using the VLF test adaptor with the cosine rectangular VLF technology, testing of large cable capacities is possible. This method allows the user to test all three phases in parallel also on long cable lines, without reducing the test frequency. This reduces the testing time by two hours. Partial discharge diagnosis The new...
