Proton Products InteliSENSTM ST-HF series high frequency spark testers meet the international standards stipulated for cable insulation testing.
High frequency spark testing allows a greatly increased line speed capability compared with mains frequency testing, especially in the case of UL1581, where the 9-cycle requirement makes the electrode length required for mains frequency testing impractical. Compared with mains frequency testing, high frequency testing generates an ionization cloud at a relatively low voltage. This ensures complete coverage of the cable surface.
The InteliSENSTM ST-HF Series gauge head electronics are housed in a rugged IP65 sealed steel case, ensuring reliability and long operational life.
