Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on ZUMBACH's Spark Testers, which are used for detecting faults in the insulation or sheathing layers of electric cables. These testers are essential for ensuring the quality and safety of electrical cables during production processes such as extrusion and rewinding.
Specifications: The Spark Testers come in various models, including AST L, AST H, and DST series, each designed for different cable diameters and testing requirements. The models offer a range of output voltages from 0.5 kV to 40 kV and can accommodate product diameters up to 250 mm. They operate at adjustable frequencies between 50 and 120 Hz, with some models supporting high-frequency testing up to 3 kHz.
Testing Standards: The equipment complies with international standards such as IEC 62230, UL 1581, and UL 2556, ensuring reliable fault detection. The testers are equipped with various electrode types, including bead chain, ring, and flat electrodes, to suit different cable types and sizes.
Features: Key features include digital and analogue inputs/outputs, Ethernet service ports, and interfaces for communication with quality control systems. The testers also have emergency stop inputs and can operate in different modes (extrusion or rewinding) to continue or stop testing after a fault is detected.
Models and Capabilities: The AST L models are suitable for mains and low-frequency testing, while the AST H models are designed for high-frequency applications. The DST series offers direct current testing capabilities, with the DST 10 and DST 28A models providing specific configurations for different testing needs.
Accessories and Calibration: The document mentions optional accessories like floor stands for easy installation and a calibrator (SP 40A) for testing and calibrating the Spark Testers. The calibrator can simulate faults and test voltage characteristics up to 40 kV.
Contact Information: ZUMBACH provides worldwide customer service and sales support, with contact details for various regional offices included in the document.
