Megger STX40 Portable Cable Fault Location System
Cable fault location systems have to meet steep requirements to be considered truly portable and thus outdoor-ready for use in the field.
The Megger STX40-2000 is the most powerful and most modern portable fault location system on the market. It is ideally suited for proof testing, analysing, pre-locating and pinpointing of faults on extruded low voltage and medium voltage XLPE- and EPR-insulated cables. With its 40 kV DC source and a potent high frequency burner it is also highly capable and effective on PILC cables as well.
Megger STX40 gets the job done in all weathers and challenging terrain
The STX40 is an outdoor unit with exceptional all-terrain mobility, for easy and dependable on-site use in all conditions. The unit is weatherproof with a rating of IP43. It can be easily transported in difficult terrain due to its low weight, pneumatic tyres and low center of gravity.
Megger STX40 Built For Your Environment
The Megger STX40-2000 is the only fault locating unit in its class with such a degree of outdoor-readiness.
- Fully automated with motorised HV switches controlled by either the rotary knob or the industry-grade colour touch-screen (10.1”)
- It is lightweight, rugged, engineered to withstand hostile and challenging environments
- Complete with pneumatic tyres and low centre of gravity
- Weighing 80 kg (176 lbs) less compared to its predecessors (weight: 118 kg)
- Very mobile in adverse terrain and as compact in size as possible
- Operates in rain
- Easy to use in bright daylight conditions with intense sun-shine
- The sunshine-proof display with anti-glare coating keeps the user interface clearly visible even in intense sunshine, while its wide operating temperature range provides reliable operation whether you are in the desert in +55°C or somewhere near the polar circle in -20°C.
