Primeon Automated Cable Fault Location & Cable Test Van

Primeon Automated Cable Fault Location & Cable Test Van

The Primeon Cable Test Van System is a centrally controlled and automated cable fault location and cable testing van, offering a complete solution for cable fault location and can also be configured with VLF testing and diagnostics options.

The Megger Primeon Test Van comes with an in-built radar of the Teleflex® RDR type for time domain reflectometry, furthermore with an insulation testing unit, a very powerful high voltage DC source, a multi-stage surge wave generator (thumper) for pinpointing with the digiPHONE +2, a high frequency burner for fault conversion, and a set of industry- standard radar-based and transient prelocation methods. Everything is operated from one central single control unit which runs the graphic user interface.
Primeon is a toolbox
Since low impedance faults, high impedance faults and intermittent faults have different specific characteristics, not every fault location method is applicable to every fault. Each method
has its own pros, cons and limitations. The best approach for being effective in finding faults on underground cables is not to have just one tool only, but a whole toolbox with a multi- tude of methods that complement one another.
Only then technicians will always have the right tool at hand which best fits the actual fault situation in front of them, even on difficult to find faults. Primeon cable fault locator van is  designed to be the safest in the market. It meets the strict requirements of EN 50191:2010, VDE 0104:2011 and other standards. Equipped with a ground connection monitoring circuit (F-Ohm) and a touch potential monitoring circuit (F-U or F-Voltage), Primeon is a milestone and the most compact fault location system with the highest safety standards in the market, by far.

Primeon is a centrally controlled and automated cable fault location and cable testing van offering a complete solution for cable fault location & diagnostics options.
