Cable Fault Locators

GAO’s cable fault locators are devices used to identify and locate faults or problems in underground electrical cables or communication cables. These faults may include breaks, short circuits, open circuits, insulation deterioration, or other issues that disrupt the normal functioning of the cable. Our cable fault locators are used by maintenance and repair technicians working in industries such as power distribution, telecommunications, and data networking. By pinpointing the exact location of a fault, these devices help in efficient troubleshooting and minimize downtime by facilitating faster repairs. 

 

GAO’s cable fault locators are composed of a control unit, pulse generator, measurement unit, probes or connectors, display and indicators, power source, data logging, and connectivity.

GAO Tek’s cable fault locators have the following functions: 

  • Fault Detection: GAO’s cable fault locators are designed to detect the presence of faults in cables. These faults can include breaks, short circuits, open circuits, insulation deterioration, and other abnormalities that disrupt the normal operation of the cable. 
  • Fault Location: One of the primary functions of our cable fault locator is to determine the precise location of the fault along the cable. By analyzing the electrical signals or pulses transmitted through the cable, the fault locator can calculate the distance between the device and the fault point. 
  • Fault Type Identification: Our cable fault locators can provide information about the type of fault encountered in the cable. Whether it is a break, short circuit, open circuit, or other faults, the fault locator can analyze the reflected or transmitted signals and interpret their characteristics to determine the fault type. 
  • Display and Indicators: Our fault locator features a display screen that shows relevant information such as distance to the fault, fault type, signal waveforms, and any other diagnostic data.  

GAO Tek’s cable fault locators are rugged, versatile and precision measurement instruments. They comply with applicable industry standards such as IEC 61557, IEC 61010, ANSI/IEEE C57.161, ASTM D4566, and BS EN 60947-3.

Our cable fault locators have the following applications: 

  • Power Distribution and Utilities: Our cable fault locators are used in power distribution systems and utility networks to identify and locate faults in power cables. They help utility technicians quickly pinpoint the location of faults such as cable breaks, short circuits, or insulation failures, enabling efficient repairs and minimizing downtime. 
  • Telecommunications and Data Networking: In the telecommunications and data networking industries, our cable fault locators are used to troubleshoot and locate faults in communication cables. They are instrumental in identifying issues such as cable breaks, splice failures, or damage to the cable infrastructure, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted communication services. 
  • Industrial Plants and Facilities: GAO’s cable fault locators find application in industrial plants and facilities where electrical cables are prevalent. They are used for maintenance and repair tasks, helping technicians locate faults in cables used for power distribution, control systems, instrumentation, and other critical applications. 
  • Construction and Infrastructure Projects: During the construction or installation of new cable systems, our cable fault locators are used to verify the integrity of the cables and identify any faults that may have occurred during installation. This ensures that the cables are functioning correctly before they are put into service. 
  • Railways and Transportation Networks: GAO’s cable fault locators are used in railway and transportation systems, helping locate faults in signaling cables, power supply cables, and communication cables. Prompt fault detection and location enable rapid response and effective maintenance, ensuring safe and reliable operation of the transportation networks.
