The multipurpose solution to cable location
The Fluke 2042 is a professional general-purpose cable locator. It is ideal for tracing cables in walls and underground, locating fuses/breakers on final circuits, and locating interruptions and short-circuits in cables and electrical floor heating systems. It can also be used to trace metallic water and heat pipes. The unit is supplied as a complete kit comprising a transmitter and receiver in a purpose-made carry case. The receiver also incorporates a torch function for working in dimly lit locations.
Key features
Safety Conformance
All inputs of the Fluke 2042 are protected to EN61010-1 CAT III 300V rating.
The Megger MRCT is a light weight, robust, portable unit used to perform demagnetization, ratio, saturation, winding resistance, polarity, phase deviation, and insulation tests on current transformers. The MRCT automatically calculates ratio errors, saturation curves, and knee points. The MRCT provides a microprocessor-controlled variable voltage and current output and precision instrumentation for automatically testing single and multi ratio CTs, reducing testing time and increasing productivity. The MRCT will directly connect to multi ratio CT’s and perform all tests – saturation, ratio and polarity, winding resistance and insulation – on all taps with the push of a button and without changing leads.
The MRCT can be controlled via Megger’s Smart Touch View Interface (STVI) controller, a full color, high resolution, LCD touch screen which allows the user to perform manual and automatic testing quickly and easily using the manual test screen, as well as using pre-constructed test routines. The large display permits the user to easily read all pertinent data while the test is being performed and provides the ability to view the current transformer’s saturation curve. The unit can also be configured to come without a Megger STVI and can be controlled via a laptop with Megger’s PowerDB software.
Current transformers can be tested in their equipment configuration, such as being mounted in transformers, oil circuit breakers or switchgear. It is necessary for the equipment to be completely isolated from the electrical system prior to testing.
For use on any grounded electrical system, the DETEX voltage detectors and phasing testers are also piezo verifiers. Piezo verifiers are an essential safety tool used to confirm the correct operation of voltage detectors and phasing testers that do not have a self-testing capability. When the verifier handle is depressed at the rate of 3 strokes per second, a piezo crystal generates approximately 1800 volts. This voltage, when applied to the tip of the detector, tests the integrity of the current path and ensures the proper operation of the indicators.
All DETEX models provide continuous monitoring with no on/off switch.
Voltage detectors
The voltage detectors come in seven models that cover everything from distribution class to transmission line voltages up to 550 kV. These models include six electronic 'beeper' models that provide audible and visual indication of the presence of phase-to-ground AC voltages, in accordance with ANSI C84.1-1982 standards. They also include one model that uses an LED indicator designed for indoor testing grounded AC systems as the bright LED provides easy visibility in poor lighting conditions.
Phasing testers
The phasing testers come in two models for applications up to 34.5 kV systems. These models have LED indication
The MVCT VT and CT test set is a lightweight, portable, and robust unit capable of accurately testing both current and voltage transformers. It weighs less than 20 lb (10Kg) and is capable of performing saturation, ratio, polarity, winding resistance, and insulation tests on current transformers, and can also be used for testing metering and protection class voltage/potential transformers.
