DESCRIPTION
The semi-automatic Surgeflex (SFX) series consists of In connection with an magnetic-acoustic fault pinpointer or
portable fault location systems designed for various applica- an earth fault locator (digiPHONE+ or ESG NT recommend-

pinpointing, and sheath fault location. The SFX systems come on a trolley with big wheels. This
The systems include two modules: provides comfortable transportation and makes them
suitable for field use. All HV and LV connection leads

plus selectable voltage levels up to 32 kV
„ a high-performance time domain reflectometer TECHNICAL DATA
(TDR Teleflex SX) with up to 400 MHz sampling rate
„ DC Testing up to 32 kV
Using innovative time domain reflectometry techniques, the
SFX systems reduce troubleshooting time, improve work „ Prelocation:
efficiency, and guarantee quick and reliable fault location „ TDR
even on more challenging faults.

Operation
„ Decay (Voltage Decoupling)
The HV surge unit is operated directly from its front panel.
The Teleflex SX is operated by either the touchscreen or the „ ICE (Corrent decoupling)
JogDial, and has two operation modes: easyGO and Expert. „ IFL (Intermittent Fault Location)
The easyGO mode is the perfect choice for inexperienced „ Fault conditioning (burning) up to 32 kV
users. It suggests the next logical operating step and sets
„ Pinpointing:
all important system parameters.
The Expert mode is for experienced operators. It provides „ Magnetic-acoustic
free access to all parameters and enables comprehensive „ Sheath fault location
fault location even under difficult conditions.
„ Audio frequency methods (optional)
The SFX systems feature various prelocation methods
„ Tracing (optional)
such as ARM (Arc Reflection Method), ICE (Impulse Current
Equipment), Decay, IFL (Intermittent Fault Location), Voltage
Gradient Method and burning.
