  • Page 7: Description

    FLE 66 or FLE 90, and then indicated acoustically and/or optically IMPORTANT: The SWG 500 is a high voltage instrument. Hence, the safety precautions have imperatively to be observed. These can be found under paragraph 2.1. on page 3.
  • Page 8: Design

    Design The shock discharge generator SWG 500 is a completely self- contained instrument and can be operated without any additional units. The four main sub-assemblies viz control unit, high voltage generator, impulse capacitors and the operating spark gap are mounted in a rugged 19’’-housing. Modern...
  • Page 9: Putting Into Operation

    Putting into operation Safety The shock discharge generator SWG 500 releases dangerous contact voltages. Hence the instrument must be operated by specialists or personnel who have been trained or instructed in the use of the instrument. The following safety precautions should be adhered to: Para.
  • Page 10: Isolation Of Open Cable Ends

    After the faulty cable has been disconnected and verified to be dead, the high voltage lead can be connected. For this purpose, the wire clamp is fixed to the faulty phase conductor, whereby care should be taken to ensure a good contact. The sheath clamp is screwed onto the sheath or screen of the defective cable.
  • Page 11: Selection Of The Surge Voltage

    Selection of the surge voltage The selection of the surge voltage depends both an the test voltage of the faulty cable and an the ignition behaviour of the fault. The ignition behaviour is governed not only by the voltage level, but also by the duration of the surge impulse. The latter again mainly depends on how the Impulse capacitors are connected.
  • Page 12: Ready For Switching On

    2.6.3 Ready for switching on Indicated by a red pilot lamp (5). Instrument is on. Green pilot lamp goes out. Caution: HIGH VOLTALE IS ON ! *NOTE: If the green pilot lamp goes out and the red pilot lamp does not light up, the instrument is also ready for switching on!! Mains connection The earthed power supply lead supplied is connected to...
  • Page 13: Setting The Surge Voltage

    Setting the surge voltage Only in switching state "Ready for mains connection". (Only the white pilot lamp lights up). The desired surge voltage is set on the high voltage change-over switch (12). For this purpose, the knob in "OFF" position is pulled out, turned to the desired voltage and firmly depressed (rotary plug-in switch).

  • Page 15: Single-Shot Pulse

    2.12 Single-shot pulse In order to trigger single-shot pulses, e.g. by radio command, the rotary control (11) is to be set fully to the left, whereby a switching off point has to be crossed. A single-shot impulse is triggered by means of pushbutton (10).
  • Page 17: Switching Off

    Switching Off After completion of the test, the instrument is switched off by operating the luminous pushbutton (5), whereby both the control unit and the high voltage generation are switched off. Simultaneously, the instrument is automatically discharged and the connected cable is earthed. The pointer of the kV- meter returns to Zero.
