GL 660-1 Generator GLS 660-1 - General The GEOLUX instrument system is mainly used for the location of earth faults in unearthed protective conductor systems of control and pilot cables of large enterprises, power plants (also nuclear power plants) and by operators of control and pilot cable networks.

GL 660-1 Putting into operation Safety No dangerous voltages are present on the generator or the receiver. Nevertheless, when operating the GEOLUX system, the following safety measures should be adhered to: v) The housing of the generator is to be earthed, both on mains and battery operation.
GL 660-1 VERY IMPORTANT Since under certain circumstances the test lead clips have to be connected directly to a bus-bar, severe danger exists in the event of a short-circuit in the test lead or in the generator. The voltages in the bus-bars would cause the test leads to vaporize and endanger the operator of the instrument.

GL 660-1 Connection of the generator GLS 660-1. The following connections shown in figure 3 have to be made: 1. Earthing lead EK 4 to the earthing socket (3) and to safety earth. 2. The red clip of the test lead HSK 8-A is to be connected directly to the faulty core.
GL 660-1 Settings on the generator GLS 660-1 instrument 1. The is switched on activating the pushbutton (12). An automatic battery check on the meter (6) follows. The ON condition is indicated by the pilot lamp (5) (underneath the 10 V label) which starts flashing. 2.
GL 660-1 Determining the faulty conductor This measurement is completely passive, i.e. the generator GLS 660-1 does not have to be switched on. After connecting the test lead, one of the clips has to be connected to system earth. The other clip is used to touch the three phase conductors one after the other (fig.
GL 660-1 Safety Instruction: On completion of the measurement, first remove the clip from the live cable. Only after that, disconnect the clip from system earth. Power supply of the generator GLS 660-1 The generator can be operated from the built-in rechargeable 12 V battery or from the mains.
GL 660-1 Receiver GLE 660-1 – General The GEOLUX system also includes the receiver GLE 660-1 and the various probes for picking up the 5 Hz electromagnetic field. Description of the receiver The battery operated GEOLUX receiver is a selective, powerful amplifier unit for reception and determination of the value of a 5 Hz signal fed to the faulty cable.
GL 660-1 Putting the receiver into operation The receiver can be switched on only after the insertion of the measuring probe. Switching the receiver ON As shown in figure 5, the receiver is switched on by pressing the luminous pushbutton (28), lighting up a red lamp. Simultaneously, for approx.
GL 660-1 Connection and selection of the probes All probes have to be connected to the socket (27). (Without a probe connected the receiver cannot be switched on). The following probes are available: Receiver tongs AZK 100 as standard accessory with an internal diameter of 100 mm.
GL 660-1 4.3.1 Pulse mode of the generator GLS 660-1 After switching on the generator GLS 660-1, it is automatically set to "continuous test current". This is indicated by the pilot lamp (8) which lights continuously. For an external ON-OFF switching or a timed pulse sequence through the receiver, pushbutton (11) has to be operated.
GL 660-1 4.3.2 Automatic pulse mode of the receiver For this mode of operation, the generator has to be connected to the receiver by means of the connection lead VK 50. Instead of this 10 m connection lead, one can also use the cable drum KTG 50 with 50 m of cable.
GL 660-1 Reactive current compensation The location of high resistance earth faults in cable systems with a high capacitance is problematic. This is due to the fact that often the capacitive reactive current is considerably higher than the test current over the fault. The compensation facility of the GEOLUX system offers the possibility of compensating cable capacitances up to 50 µF.
