The Fault Wizard is a truly portable, relatively
inexpensive, and user-friendly fault location system for primary
underground cable.
The system is based on the new automated arc-reflection
technology (AART) developed by IUP. The display shows the distance
in feet or meters to the fault location. The display also shows the
fault type (open or short), the battery voltage, the velocity of
propagation setting, the charge voltage, and whether the system is
armed for waveform storage for retrieval and viewing on a computer
(desktop or laptop) by utilizing the Fault Wizard Software. However,
as stated before, viewing of the waveforms is not required since the
Fault Wizard gives an automatic readout of distance to the fault
location. Since the system is battery operated, it can be used in
remote locations.
The Fault Wizard will shoot through transformers and will locate
faults up to 10,000 feet. Therefore, the Fault Wizard is great for
faulted-cable section isolation. The impulse voltage is variable,
which allows low-voltage pulsing and minimum damage to cables. The
system has a cycle mode for use in pinpointing the fault with a
headset listening device. However, the Fault Wizard has sufficient
power to often be felt and heard above ground.
