BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator

The BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator can be used to pre-locate and pin-point cable sheath faults and cable faults caused by earth contact. It can also be used to measure insulation resistance. The BAUR Shirla is a mobile unit that can be powered via a mains supply or battery.

The BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator utilises the bridge principle according to Murray and Glaser for fault pre-location. This method is optimised for power cables but can be used for control and lightning cables. The fault distance is indicated in metres; the user can enter cable sections to improve the accuracy of the fault distance measurement. Cable sections according to length, conductor cross-section, and material can be entered into the BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator. Zero balance and evaluation are conducted automatically.

Generation of a pulsed voltage enables the operator to utilise the step voltage method when fault pin-pointing. The BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator can generate pulsed voltages up to 10kV and includes four selectable pulse patterns as well as an adjustable switch-on delay and operating time. It can be used with the Baur KMF 1 Earth Fault Locator or UL30 Universal Receiver to locate cable sheath faults and faults caused by earth contact quickly and accurately.

The BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator features adjustable voltage and current limitations and supports automatic measurement sequences and reporting. It will automatically export data to a USB stick or via a USB interface. The BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator’s intuitive interface ensures that it is simple to operate.

This mobile cable sheath tester and fault locator also includes an integrated discharge unit and a connection for an emergency off unit ensuring the BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator is in accordance with EN 50191.

The BAUR Shirla Cable Sheath Fault Locator is a mobile, simple-to-operate, precise cable fault locator.
