An SPG 5-1000 is a portable multi-functional system for testing, fault conditioning pre and pin-point location of faults in low voltage distribution networks.

Using an ingenious new patented pre-location method "ICEplus" the operator has an easy to use tool for pre-location of faults in teed systems, which hitherto were very difficult to locate.

This test principle uses the low frequency component of the impulse signals during a flashover at the fault point in order to determine the distance.

The usual problems of reflection and attenuation in tees encountered when using TDR and ARM methods are not existent in this new ICEplus method. A pre-location is possible irrespective of the number of tee joints in the section.

The compactness in size and weight has been made possible using an electronic HV source, discrete selected capacitors and a newly developed HV switching system.

The unit is controlled via a PLC with integrated rotary command knob and a graphic display for the test modes and parameters.

Software supported easy handling, facilitates successful operation by semi skilled staff, without sacrificing safety and optimum results.
