"[LiveWire Innovation] delivered and demonstrated a unit which we immediately used to accurately locate a cable fault on one of our sub-sea 5 KV cables. Prior to this we had used conventional TDR meters which had given us unreliable results and showed ghost signals which could have indicated additional faults that didn't exist. The cost implications of this are huge."
-Mike Mason, Dubai PetroleumThe Arc Chaser Dual Mode TDR is capable of finding faults (Opens, Shorts, Arc Faults) on fully energized cables up to 600 volts. Arc Chaser can monitor live cables for intermittent conditions, capturing these “events” and reporting where and when they occur. Using advanced Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR) Arc Chaser is capable of accuracy to fault of better than 1%
