Description

In many situations, conventional fault location is impossible,

for example when the electrical supply cannot be disconnected

or the necessary fault location system is temporarily

unavailable.

This is where the FaultSniffer enables you to locate the fault

quickly without interupting the power supply.

How? It’s simple!

Each cable fault burns the insulating material. This produces

gases which spread in the ground and can be measured

even after days or weeks.

The FaultSniffer is optimised to locate these combustion

gases, which are produced from any type of insulation material

and therefore are a reliable indicator of the fault.

A simple push-button measurement in the vicinity of the fault

shows the concentration of these gases. The fault is located

where the concentration is highest.

The power customers can remain connected to the supply

during the measurements with the FaultSniffer - no disconnection

is required.

The precision is approximately a spade’s width, depending

on the type of soil, the surface and the nature of the fault.

Because the FaultSniffer has a range of many metres and the

distances in low-voltage networks are usually short, a prelocation

of the fault is not normally necessary.

The device is very easy to use and no specialist with electrical

knowledge or switching permissions is required.

The FaultSniffer is not intended to replace conventional fault

location but is a fast, simple and inexpensive supplement and

alternative which does not disrupt the electricity supply.
