With its 20kV ouput, the CDS-2010U is good for fault locating cables rated
up to 35kv, having a line to ground voltage of 20kV. The high burn current of
400mA can be used to condition a fault to reduce its arc over voltage to permit
thumping at a lower and less damaging voltage level, yet still at full energy. The
CDS-2010U can thump a cable at just 5kV yet deliver 1000 joules. Find your
fault without making more.
There is no better thumper. The CDS-2010U offers the complete package:
three full joule output voltages, three variable hipot outputs, the highest burn
current, rapid discharge rate, tdr/radar ready, and its rugged design holds up
to years of use. Another plus: all HVI Thumpers use EPR high voltage output
cable rather than XLPE. EPR stays flexible in cold weather. HVI thought of
everything.
