• The 65 kV proof mode permits ac-
ceptance testing of 15 kV class cable
and maintenance testing of 25 kV class
cable.
• The 65 kV/100 mA burn mode per-
mits simple breakdown testing and
fault resistance reduction to locate
faults on 35 kV class cable.
This unit offers the following power
output capabilities:
• It delivers 3750 Joules with 12
µ
F at
25 kV every 5 seconds, with an
overrange that permits a maximum
discharge of 5400 Joules at 30 kV inter-
mittently.
• Optionally, it delivers 7500 Joules
with 24
µ
F at 25 kV every 10 seconds,
with an overrange that permits a maxi-
mum discharge of 10,800 Joules at 30
kV intermittently.
