Battery Ground Fault Locator

Additional Details

Digitrace simplifies the tracking of ground faults on DC floating system in power station. DC Earth Fault Locator also called as Battery Ground Fault Locator. It’s an intelligent sensing system, precisely identifies and tracks the complex faults of any DC floating system. Digitrace locates the fault easily in the charged conditions and pin-points the fault location. Our system is useful in any industry where supply of power for operating measurement, communication and control equipment is critical. Digitrace is capable of locating and pin-pointing Earth faults ON - LINE in floating DC system without switching off any of substation feeders/circuits. Globally it is the only system capable of finding fault in mixed dual battery system by first find the troublesome point of mixing. Digitrace is an auto-calibrated portable system comprising of two main units, Main unit with the transmitter and Fault guide receiver unit. The system being a compact & portable kit can be connected to the DC bus as and when required. It is highly sensitive equipment which will locate all faults including high resistance (Up to 400kΩ) in the floating DC system.

Features:

• Digitrace DC allows tracking and locating of ground faults on live or dead battery systems
• Fault Location: DIGITRACE is a handy system conceptualized for sensing identification and tracking of all type of faults in DC floating system
• Fault Indications: Once the fault in DC system is sensed it is indicated instantaneously by a set of voltage meter which also indicates whether the fault is in positive or negative
• Fault Detection: The probe of the receiver unit when clamped over the live outgoing cables from the DCDB identifies the faulty core with audio visual signal
• Fault Tracking: The portable receiver unit will then guide the user to the exact point of fault on the cable
• Higher Return on Investment: With its remarkable capability to sense and track all type of faults in DC floating system under any challenging situation, Digitrace can locate faults faster, accurately and more precisely than any other systems
