CDS-3616U(F) & CDS-3632U(F) (suffix F for 230 V 50/60 Hz models)
These two models are ideal for Network Systems or other situations where cables are rated up to 69kV, oil insulated cables, and/or long
cable lengths are encounted. The powerful 3200 joule pulse makes fault locating easier using acoustical and electro-magnetic detection
devices. With 280 mA of burn current, faults can be rapidly reduced to low voltage levels, permitting thumping at lower and less damaging
voltage levels. The CDS-3632U can thump at 9kV, 18 kV, or 36 kV yet deliver 3200 joules.
There is no better thumper. The CDS-3616/32U offers the complete package: three full joule output voltages, three variable hipot
outputs, 280 mA burn current, variable discharge rate, tdr/radar ready, and its extremely durable 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.
Thumper Specification Review
Don’t handicap your fault finding efforts by buying a thumper with only half the features necessary.
For the same money, you can buy a full featured thumper. When specifying, require:
• At least two full joule output voltage settings, preferably three, and with at least 1000 joules of energy
• A variable hipot output with high burn current of at least 200mA
• Variable discharge rate from 6 – 10 seconds
• A remote TDR/radar, not one built-in, for flexibility, versatility, ease in service, and ease in use
