Description
The Megger Cable Identifier is an advanced system designed to provide accurate and reliable identification of de-energised cables. The system consists of two main components – the current impulse generator (CI TX) and the receiver (CI RX). The receiver is connected via a flex clamp that decouples the identification signal, available in 230 mm or optional 135 mm sizes. By generating single sawtooth pulses with a peak current of up to 100 A, the CI TX creates an electromagnetic field with a defined polarity around the cable being identified. This signal is captured by the flex coupler of the CI RX and displayed with precision using an LED scale. The device is designed to simplify usage by requiring minimal adjustments, enhancing both user efficiency and safety.
A unique software function monitors key parameters, including impulse shape, polarity, amplitude, and frequency, ensuring the system operates without false positives. Whether deployed in industrial plants, underground utilities, or construction sites, the Megger Cable Identifier ensures maintenance and installation processes are safeguarded with a high degree of accuracy.
