Preparing test object Isolate the test object Lock against reconnection Make sure that zero voltage condition exists. Insulate nearby items which are under voltage It must be assured that nearby items of the station or cable system under voltage do not result in breakovers or breakdowns, due to applying surge or D.C.
Estabilshing H.V. connection Connect strand of the high voltage connecting lead with the fault afflicted strand of the test object. It is very important that all connections are of low resistance as possible. Bad connections can lead to weldings or contact wear. At the instrument, protective earth and station earth may not be connected with each other.
3.4 Switch on Danger! High-voltage When using surge mode: Cordon off surge voltage generator at a distance of 1.5 m Persons must stand only outside the barrier Turn variable transformer (11) to its left position. Set range selector switch (15) to the desired range 8 /16 /32 kV. ...
Live parts must be discharged, earthed and shorted. The Surge Voltage Generators SSG 1100, SSG 1500, SSG 2100 and SSG 3000 features an internal discharge unit with separated discharge of surge capacitors and test object capacity, but not an internal earthing unit.

4 Servicing / Maintenance 4.1 Safety precautions The Surge Voltage Generators SSG 1100, SSG 1500, SSG 2100 and SSG 3000 have a surge capacitor available which consists of four isolated partial capacitors. Even in the turned off condition these partial capacitors can show substantial residual charges. For safety reasons,...

First install station earth (blue) on instrument side and tighten knurled nut (23). Subsequently, install H.V. connection and tighten knurled nut (22). Use only the original BAUR H.V. connecting lead suitable for the particular instrument. When replacing parts, check if the accessible mounting screws for the electrode support (25) are tightened.
5 Options, Accessories and Ordering Information 5.1 Options Intercom SA 32 The primary application of the Intercom SA 32 is as „aid“ for prelocating of cable faults. It allows locating of high-resistance faults utilizing the secondary impulse method (SIM). This allows for transformation of high-resistance faults into low resistance faults. The surge voltage impulse of the SSG is consequently led to the test object via the high-performance resistors.
