GDF-3000A DC System Earth Fault Detector
DC system insulation faults, DC mutual faults and AC power failures are faults that are prone to occur and are harmful to the power system, and endanger the normal operation of the power system.
In order to better help field maintenance personnel to quickly and accurately find DC faults, our company has developed a DC fault finder by years of efforts and summing up a large number of field experiences.
The DC grounding finder uses a high-precision current clamp meter to detect and locate faults using the DC current difference in the fault loop. The fast FFT transform technology is introduced into the DC fault finding device, to detect various types of insulation faults, DC mutual faults, and AC power failures in DC systems with different voltage level (24V (optional), 48V, 110V, 220V).
With the increasing requirements for safe operation of power systems, the requirements for various types of DC fault finding in power systems will also become higher and higher. Therefore, high-precision, insulation trend analysis will become a basic requirements of the instrument for power systems' new generation DC grounding search.
