The SebaKMT MFM 10 cable sheath testing equipment is an easy and reliable tool to test the sheath of cables. The MFM 10 cable fault locator also performs a pre-location pinpointing of detected faults.  

The SebaKMT MFM 10 cable fault locator has bipolar pre-location which supports the detection of galvanic and thermoelectric influences and increases the accuracy and quality of the pre-location.  The SebaKMT MFM 10 has a rotary encoder principle for the entry of data and the fault detector is supported by a touch screen.

The SebaKMT MFM 10 cable sheath tester also has a very powerful 10 kV DC source with positive and negative polarity which allows the testing of HV cables. The available high current of up to 750 mA on the MFM 10 enables the burning of difficult cable faults. The MFM 10 cable sheath tester has an integrated protocolling feature in combination with the approved Easy-prot Software for an easy and reliable test generation.

 

SebaKMT MFM 10 Cable Sheath Fault Location Key Benefits:

• Test Voltage up to ±10 kV DC
• Up to 750 mA continuous current, also suitable for burning
• SebaKMT MFM 10 has an adjustable current limiter
• Bipolar measurement for highest accuracy
• MFM 10 only has one single removable HV connection cable
• Easy-Go operation via jogdial and touch screen
• Automatic measurement and protocolling​

Simple, Exact, Efficient Cable Sheath Fault Location with SEBA KMT 
Cable sheath testing is a vital tool in preventative maintenance of electricity supply to low and high voltage cable networks - a damaged insulated cable sheath will inevitably result in a cable fault causing interrupted electricity supply to low voltage and high voltage cable networks.

The leakage current is measured during cable sheath fault testing highlighting deviations which may indicate a potential sheath fault - subsequent cable sheath fault location determines the distance to the actual sheath fault. During cable sheath fault pinpointing, step voltage measurement is used to locate the fault to carry out cable repair or jointing.

An intact polymeric cable sheath is a prerequisite for the avoidance of water ingress and subsequent cable faults in low and high voltage cable networks - the pre-location and pinpointing of cable sheath faults prevent ageing, faults and stresses that are a consequence of water ingress.
