Megger Fault Sniffer 2 Cable Fault Locator
Megger Fault Sniffer 2 can quickly locate cable faults in underground low voltage networks.
When time is critical!
When there is a power outage in a supply line, it is the technician‘s job to fix the problem quickly.
Up to now the technician needed to hire a contractor along with their cable test van to visit the site and locate the fault. That meant cutting off power to each consumer in the affected area, one by one.
Resulting in a difficult and time consuming process and time is money! The longer the power outage, the more the power provider has to pay. This payment goes to the national utilities agency.
Times have changed: With the Megger Fault Sniffer 2 the technician can easily locate the fault on his own.
How Does the Megger Fault Sniffer 2 Work?
A short circuit causes localised burning of the cable insulation. This releases combustion gases that the Megger Fault Sniffer 2 vacuum collects. The Megger Fault Sniffer 2 detects even low levels of gas!
The dual-sensors can distinguish the above forementioned combustion gases from:
- Bio gases
- Other naturally occurring gases
This avoids false readings!
The Megger Fault Sniffer 2 makes the technician‘s work much quicker and easier! Locate cable faults reliably and accurately, and resolve the situation quickly! For power providers this will mean significant cost savings, and many satisfied customers!

3 reasons to replace your old fault sniffer:
- More ergonomic: The probe set has an extendable rod. The technician can work comfortably. This extendable rod lets the Fault Sniffer 2 adjust to the operator‘s height. They will never have to squat again!
- No more incorrect measurements: Thanks to the intelligent two-sensor technology, the Fault Sniffer 2 automatically differentiates between burning gases and naturally occurring gases. In case of natural gases, the system warns the user!
- Optional vacuum pump backpack: The strong pump in the backpack can suck in and detect even small amounts of gas. The smallest holes and cracks in the asphalt can be sufficient so that mean no more unnecessary drilling!
