R-9 High-Surge Cable Fault Locator

R-9 High-Surge Cable Fault Locator
Product introduction

The Ronaldo Cable Fault Locator manufactured by Beijing KGT is mainly composed of Ronaldo HV (High Voltage) Generator and TDR-RT Time Domain Reflectometer, including various Pre-location methods, such as low voltage pulse method, ICM (impulse current method ), ARM measurement ( Arc reflection method), multiple pulse(MIM) method. It can resolve the malfunctions and locate the fault points, which contains low resistance, high resistance, intermittent, flashover,leak and disconnection fault on various cables of 380V, 6KV, 10KV, 35KV, 110KV, 220kV. TDR-RT reflection method can locate disconnected and low resistance faults, which is also able to measure the full length of the cable or correct the wave speed. 1800 J of surge energy provide the necessary power for accurately pinpointing cab

Product Features
Accurate fault localization: It utilizes 1800J of impact energy, providing clear 
waveform feedback of the fault point.Utilizing a waveform sampling rate of up to 
400MHz allows for waveform measurements that closely replicate the original waveform 
and the waveform of each phase cable can be compared.
■ User-friendly: featuring an automatic mode, this device allows for one-key testing 
using the low-voltage pulse method. The system automatically selects the appropriate 
range and gain, providing direct fault distance localization.

Testing Standards 
■ State Grid Equipment Distribution [2021] No. 86 Document Requirements (III) 
Strengthen the con-figuration of testing equipment, further enhance the selection and 
configuration of distribution cable operation and inspection equipment and online 
monitoring devices, according to the distribution cable-specific operation and 
inspection equipment configuration standards, categorize and classify the configuration
 of AC withstand voltage, oscillating wave partial discharge, VLF testing & Tan Delta 
diagnostics, cable path detection, cable identification, cable fault detection and 
location equipment , and gradually promote the application of multifunctional, 
lightweight, and intelligent live testing equipment.

Product Functions 
The R-9 Cable Fault Locator manufactured by Beijing KGT is mainly composed of RHV-9 (High 
Voltage) Generator and RTDR-9 Time Domain Reflectometer, including various Prelocation methods, such as low voltage pulse method, ICM (impulse current method ), ARM 
measurement( Arc reflection method), multiple pulse(MIM) method.It can resolve the 
malfunctions and locate the fault points, which contains low resistance, high resistance, 
intermittent, flashover,leak ad disconnection fault on various cables of 380V, 6kV, 10kV, 35kV , 
110kV, 220kV.
RTDR-9 reflection method can locate disconnected and low resistance faults, which is also 
able to measure the full length of the cable or correct the wave speed. 
1800 J of surge energy provide the necessary power for accurately pinpointing cable faults 
with the acoustic method. Big wheels make the unit suitable for easy operation in the field. 
Connecting cables for earthing, mains, and HV are conveniently accessible at the rear of the 
unit.

Test Object 
Power cables of 380V, 6kV, 10kV, 35kV, 110kV, 220kV.

Successful Cases 
On April 20, 2023, we conducted a cable fault location for a 10 kV cable in Anyang and successfully located the fault point 
accurately. The device identifified that the fault type is high resistance. The pin point was located 161 meters from the 
beginning of the cable, and the fault point was finally found by combining the underground cable locator and the pin-pionter.
The test result was consistent with the R-9 test result.
