1Safety Instructions

1.1 General Notes

This manual contains basic instructions for the commissioning and operation of the

device / system. For this reason, it is important to ensure that the manual is always

available to the authorised and trained operator. He needs to read the manual

thoroughly. The manufacturer is not liable for damage to material or humans due to non-

observance of the instructions and safety advices provided by this manual.

Locally applying regulations have to be observed!

The following symbols may be present on the packaging material, on the instrument and

in the manual:

Symbol Description

WARNING

Indicates a potential danger of an electric shock that may result in fatal

or serious injury.

CAUTION

Caution (refer to accompanying manual for instructions)!

Indicates a potential danger that may lead to slight or moderate injury.

The notes contain important information and useful tips for using the

system. Failure to observe them can render the measurement results

useless.

It is important to observe the generally applicable electrical regulations of the country in

which the device will be installed and operated, as well as the current national accident

prevention regulations and internal company directives (work, operating and safety

regulations).

After working on the system, it must be voltage-free and secured against reconnection

as well as having been discharged, earthed and short-circuited.

Use genuine accessories to ensure system safety and reliable operation. The use of

other parts is not permitted and invalidates the warranty.

The system may only be installed and operated by an authorised electrician. DIN VDE

0104 (EN 50191), DIN VDE 0105 (EN 50110) and the German accident prevention

regulations (UVV) define an electrician as someone whose knowledge, experience and

familiarity with the applicable regulations enables him to recognise potential hazards.

Anyone else must be kept away!

Safety Instructions

1.2 General Safety Instructions and Warnings

The operating safety is only guaranteed if the delivered system is used as intended (see

page 9). Incorrect use may result in danger to the operator, to the system and the

connected equipment.

The thresholds listed in the technical data may not be exceeded under any

circumstances.

The equipment may only be used when working properly. When irregularities or

malfunctions appear that cannot be solved consulting this manual, the equipment must

immediately be put out of operation and marked as not functional. In this case inform the

person in charge who should inform the Megger service to resolve the problem. The

instrument may only be operated when the malfunction is resolved.

Five safety rules

The five safety rules must always be followed when working with HV (High Voltage):

1. De-energise

2. Protect against re-energising

3. Confirm absence of voltage

4. Earth and short-circuit

5. Cover up or bar-off neighbouring energised parts

Using cardiac pacemaker

Physical processes during operation of high voltage may endanger persons

wearing a cardiac pacemaker when near these high voltage facilities.

Wear Ear Protection

Surge operation can cause high and sudden noise levels. It is strongly

recommended to wear hearing protection during surge operation. Keep in

mind that this will limit the operators awareness for ambient dangers.

Safety Instructions

Fire fighting in electrical installations

•According to regulations, carbon dioxide (CO2) is required to be

used as extinguishing agent for fighting fire in electrical installations.

•Carbon dioxide is electrically non conductive and does not leave

residues. It is safe to be used in energized facilities as long as the

minimum distances are maintained. A CO2fire extinguisher must be

always available within electrical installations.

•If, contrary to the regulations, any other extinguishing agent is used

for fire fighting, this may lead to damage at the electrical installation.

Megger disclaims any liability for consequential damage.

Furthermore, when using a powder extinguisher near high-voltage

installations, there is a danger that the operator of the fire

extinguisher will get an electrical shock from a voltage arc-over (due

to the powder dust created).

•It is essential to observe the safety instruction on the extinguishing

agent.

•Applicable is DIN VDE 0132.

WARNING

Dangers when working with high voltage

Working on high voltage systems and equipment – especially in non-

stationary operation – requires particular care and safety-conscious action

on the part of test personnel. VDE regulations 0104 on setting up and

operating electrical test systems, as well as EN 50191 and national

standards and regulations must be strictly adhered to.

•The SWG 1750 C/CD generates a dangerous voltage of up to 32 kV.

•The test system may not be operated without supervision.

•Never fail to use safety equipment or put it out of operation.

•Operation requires minimum two people whereas the second person

must be able to activate the emergency switch in case of danger.

•To prevent dangerous charge accumulation, earth all metal parts in

the vicinity of the high voltage equipment.

Technical Description

2Technical Description

2.1 System Description

The SWG 1750 C/CD surge wave generator serves primarily for pinpoint location of

cable faults. For this purpose, the impulse capacitors are charged and then discharged

into the faulty cable which causes an arc at the weak point of the cable insulation (fault

position). The resulting flashover noise as well as the magnetic pulse propagate in the

ground and can be recorded, amplified and evaluated with a surge wave receiver (e.g.

digiPHONE+) on the surface. The distance to the fault can be calculated using either the

volume of the flashover noise or the time difference between the arrival of the magnetic

pulse and the flashover noise.

When combined with a reflectometer and an ARM filter in a test van environment, the

SWG 1750 C/CD can also be used for pre-location of cable faults by means of the arc

reflection measurement (ARM) and / or the current decoupling (ICE, Impulse Current

Equipment) method.
