Supplementary unit for reflectometers to locate humidity faults in cables
 
The Fault Converter enables the location of humidity faults on paired cables. The small unit is a very useful supplement for the SebaKMT reflectometers (for example the Digiflex Com).
 
Reflectometers supporting the TDF-mode (Time Dependant Fault) and the IFL-mode (Intermittent Fault Location) facilitate the location of intermittent humidity faults in connection with the fault converter.

Performance Characteristics:

Method of working:

The Fault Converter injects a direct current into the defective cable. The humidity fault will be changed by electrolysis caused by polarity changes. This effect is visible as a changing reflection on the display of the reflectometer.

The periodical polarity change of the direct current intensifies the effect and simplifies the location of humidity faults. The reflectometer Digiflex Com supports the application with the specially developed TDF-mode (Time Dependent Fault).
