Latest fault locating technique for high resistance and flashing faults is Secondary Impulse Method (SIM). This method offers highly reliable results for faults on any type of power cable. It converts the faults to low resistance nature by creating an arc across the fault.
It is a passive filter having its own output power source. It uses the energy of the surge generator to create an arc at the fault point. A high voltage switch incorporated in the output circuit facilitates selection of SIM or ICM mode.
CFL PL3
Cable Fault Locator
Underground cable faults cannot be avoided due to many factors such as road widening, infrastructure improvement, digging carried out for repairs of other underground utilities etc.
These faults generally take long time to detect and hence long time to repair the damaged cables and restore the power supply. Long outages cause heavy production loss to industries, revenue loss to power distribution companies and inconvenience to general public. This calls for quick fault location and restoration of power supply in minimum possible time.
An ordinary fault locating kit comprising of diagnosis set and pin-pointing equipment can take long time to locate fault point. SCOPE offers pre-locator instruments that can give the fault distance to help the operator for reaching the spot quickly and pin-pointing the fault in a short time.

Cable Identification System
After excavation, sometimes it is confusing to identify the right cable from a bunch of cables. Cable Identification is very important for the safety of field personnel – Cutting a wrong cable can be fatal. So, we require a Cable Identification System to identify the wanted cable.
Cable Identification is the most critical and safety-related sequence during all the procedure of Cable Fault Location. The correct identification of a cable out of a bundle of cables, where most of them can be in service, has to be carried out not only carefully, but also by means of an instrument widely eliminating the possibility of human error or misinterpretation.
