  • Page 16 Automatic impulse triggering is primarily used for pin-pointing a Automatic impulse triggering cable fault. The SSG 500 is equipped with a timer coupled to the mains frequency which allows automatic impulse triggering with impulse frequencies of 10/min and 20/min. The regularity of the subsequent impulses serves to better differentiate between the signals of the fault location and interferences.
  • Page 17 3. Placing into operation The Surge Voltage Generator can be put into D.C. operation via the DC Operation mode selector switch (14). Turn mode selector switch (14) to the fully left position =. The spark gap will be permanently closed and therefore connects the high voltage output directly with the surge capacitor.

    3. Placing into operation Select 3 / 6 / 12 kV (56%) or 4 / 8 / 16 kV (100% surge energy) Switch on using the reduction switch. Set range selector switch (6) to the desired range 3 / 6 / 12 kV or 4 / 8 / 16 kV.
  • Page 22: Switch Off

    Live parts must be discharged, earthed and shorted. The Surge Voltage Generator SSG 500 features an internal discharge unit, but not an internal earthing unit. Before cancelling the safety precautions, it is essential that all live parts are discharged, earthed and shorted, because they could have residual charges, caused by possible interruptions.
