The PFL40-1500/2000 really is the “Complete Solution”


4

What we “offer”• Ease of use• Cable and fault diagnosis• Fault conditioning• Fault prelocation• Pinpoint fault location• Easy to deploy • Rapid , accurate and safe• Tough, field proven equipment • Fully integrated system


The PFL40-1500/2000 ticks all the boxes

5

What we “offer”

• Fully integrated system• Auto ranging, colour display TDR.• d.c. testing up to 40kV• Leakage current• 25mA constant test current • Proof/burn up to 34kV• 34kV arc reflection method• Impulse Current• Voltage Decay (optional)• 34kV 3-range surge generator (4kV option)• 1500joule (optional 2000j)• Safety ground monitor (optional)


6

F. The PFL series are portable, stand-alone CFL & HV system. All CFL & HV testing features in one field proven case

B. No need to invest in expensive customized test vansA. No other manufacturer has the same feature set in

one enclosure/case

F. Analogue metering of the voltage and currentB Analogue metering is preferred as fault breakdown,

and ticking faults can be easily identifiedA. Analogue metering assists in identifying and

diagnosis the type of fault, essential when deciding which fault location method to use.


No Spec’s but lets look at the FEATURES, BENEFITS and ADVANTAGES

7

F. Easy to use PLC control., selects testing methodsB. Selection of HV operations is via this easy to use

PLC control.A. There has been a trend in recent years to combine all

controls with the TDR. This creates confusion and a difficult to use instrument

F. 40kV dc testing & 34kV dc proof / burn features.B. This combination allows d.c. testing (diagnosis) and

high voltage fault conditioning.A. No other manufacturer offer both these features in

the same unit, they normally offer one or the other. d.c. testing is used for diagnosis & the proof/burn mode is used to stabilise difficult to find faults.



8

F. 34kV Surge VoltageB. The 34kV Surge allows the prelocation and pinpoint

location of more difficult faults easier.A. This a unique feature that no other manufacturer has

in a mobile portable unit.

F. 1500 standard and 2000 joule Surge Energy on all ranges.

B. The high surge energy enables the creation of a flashover at the point of fault, in difficult situation.

A. No other manufacturer offers a 3-range 2000joule surge capability in a single portable unit.



9

F. Integrated large colour display TDR.B. The large colour display, makes fault analysis

easier, and encompasses pulse echo, arc reflection and impulse current methods of fault prelocation..

A.The large, uncluttered graphical display enables quick and accurate fault location. On-board memory for trace (with parameters) storage and recall, report generation assists with asset management.



10

F. Developed, manufactured by Megger.

B. Megger has over 100 years of experience of supplying test and measurement equipment worldwide. Several CFL patents are also held dating back sever decades.

A. The customer can be assured that he is supported by an International Company, with extensive experience and an experienced world-wide network of distributors and authorised repair agents.
