Megger Smart Thump ST25-30 Portable/vehicle mount cable fault location system

The Megger Smart Thump ST25-30 represents a cutting-edge solution for fault location in medium voltage power cables, perfectly tailored for diverse settings including utility companies, municipalities, and various industrial sectors such as mining, military, and petrochemical industries. This portable/vehicle mount system is engineered to address the full spectrum of cable faults, from identification to precise location, making it an indispensable tool for rapid and effective field diagnostics.

Key Features of the Smart Thump ST25-30:

• High Energy Output: The system delivers 1600 J at 12.5/25 kV, ensuring robust performance for both testing and fault-clearing operations.
• Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities: It incorporates 30 kV DC for high voltage proof testing and burning, which also helps in displaying insulation resistance, enhancing the assessment’s accuracy.
• Automatic Test Sequences: Equipped with E-Tray technology, the ST25-30 automates the process of proof testing, pre-location, and pinpointing of faults. This not only speeds up operations but also minimizes human error.
• Innovative Pre-location Techniques: The system uses ARC reflection and ICE methods for medium voltage cable pre-location, offering precise detection of fault positions.
• Multi-shot ARM Technology: Enhances the accuracy and reliability of fault pre-location by allowing multiple tests to refine the fault position estimate.
• User-Friendly Interface: A 7.0-inch HiBrite color display offers clear, easily interpretable test results even in bright outdoor environments.
• Built-in Intelligence: The ST25-30 is the only fault locator in its class that interprets the results for you, displaying the distance to the fault directly, which drastically reduces the complexity of the operation.
• Safety Features: An automatic safety/grounding check prevents operation under unsafe conditions, ensuring operator safety at all times. The system’s IP53 rating confirms its suitability for use in wet and challenging environments.
• Portability and Vehicle Integration: Designed for both portable use and vehicle mounting, the unit features heavy-duty wheels suitable for rough terrain. Its compact design allows for easy integration into service vehicles, making it highly versatile for field operations.
• Ease of Use: The intuitive ‘turn and click’ rotary button simplifies the navigation through test sequences, requiring minimal adjustments. The system automatically sets the optimum thump voltage, reducing stress on the cable during testing.
