Megger’s new PFL40-1500/2000
Power Fault Locator.
No Spec’s but lets look at the FEATURES, BENEFITS and ADVANTAGES
F. The PFL series are portable, stand-alone CFL & HV
system. All CFL & HV testing features in one field
proven case
B. No need to invest in expensive customized test vans
A. No other manufacturer has the same feature set in
one enclosure/case
F. Analogue metering of the voltage and current
B Analogue metering is preferred as fault breakdown,
and ticking faults can be easily identified
A. Analogue metering assists in identifying and
diagnosis the type of fault, essential when deciding
which fault location method to use.

Megger’s new PFL40-1500/2000
Power Fault Locator.
No Spec’s but lets look at the FEATURES, BENEFITS and ADVANTAGES
F. Easy to use PLC control., selects testing methods
B. Selection of HV operations is via this easy to use
PLC control.
A. There has been a trend in recent years to combine all
controls with the TDR. This creates confusion and a
difficult to use instrument
F. 40kV dc testing & 34kV dc proof / burn features.
B. This combination allows d.c. testing (diagnosis) and
high voltage fault conditioning.
A. No other manufacturer offer both these features in
the same unit, they normally offer one or the other.
d.c. testing is used for diagnosis & the proof/burn
mode is used to stabilise difficult to find faults.
7
Megger’s new PFL40-1500/2000
Power Fault Locator.
No Spec’s but lets look at the FEATURES, BENEFITS and ADVANTAGES
F. 34kV Surge Voltage
B. The 34kV Surge allows the prelocation and pinpoint
location of more difficult faults easier.
A. This a unique feature that no other manufacturer has
in a mobile portable unit.
F. 1500 standard and 2000 joule Surge Energy on all
ranges.
B. The high surge energy enables the creation of a
flashover at the point of fault, in difficult situation.
A. No other manufacturer offers a 3-range 2000joule
surge capability in a single portable unit.
8
Megger’s new PFL40-1500/2000
Power Fault Locator.
No Spec’s but lets look at the FEATURES, BENEFITS and ADVANTAGES
F. Integrated large colour display TDR.
B. The large colour display, makes fault analysis
easier, and encompasses pulse echo, arc
reflection and impulse current methods of fault
prelocation..
A. The large, uncluttered graphical display enables
quick and accurate fault location. On-board
memory for trace (with parameters) storage and
recall, report generation assists with asset
management.

F. Developed, manufactured by
Megger.
B. Megger has over 100 years of
experience of supplying test and
measurement equipment
worldwide. Several CFL patents
are also held dating back sever
decades.
A. The customer can be assured that
he is supported by an International
Company, with extensive
experience and an experienced
world-wide network of distributors
and authorised repair agents.
