Thumpers and Cable Fault Location
Cable testing can be broken down to different steps of the process, starting with a time domain reflectometer test to look for an incident signal on the line or, in some high resistance situations, VLF testing. These tests will identify a fault, allowing you to move on to pre-locating it. In some low resistance faults this will occur alongside the identification via the TDR.

Primary Cable Fault Locating
Directional Impulse Detector
The Directional Impulse Detector ( D.I.D.) is a compact handheld detector used to locate primary cable faults by sensing the magnetic field generated by the current pulse from a high voltage discharge device (thumper). A meter deflection indicates the intensity of the received signal. No deflection indicates that you have walked beyond the fault or away from the cable.
