Megger Teleflex VX Reflectometer

Description

Cutting-Edge Cable Fault Location for Professionals

The Megger Teleflex VX Reflectometer stands at the forefront of cable fault location technology, serving as the latest evolution in the renowned Teleflex family. Designed for fast, accurate, and comprehensive fault finding on all types of power cables, it streamlines critical tasks in power distribution and transmission networks. The VX series brings together innovative hardware improvements—remarkably faster sampling rate, pulse width, and amplitude—leading to superior measurement capabilities. Its reach is exceptional, handling distances up to 1280 kilometers, which makes it indispensable for sprawling high-voltage (HV), medium-voltage (MV), and low-voltage (LV) cable systems. The large, industrial-grade color TFT touchscreen display not only improves readability and user interaction but also guarantees high-precision work under any field conditions. This device, specifically tailored for demanding environments, provides operators with the necessary tools to troubleshoot and maintain cable infrastructures efficiently and reliably.

User Experience Enhanced through Advanced Display Technology

A 39.6 cm (15.6 in) high-brightness, full HD anti-glare capacitive touchscreen offers unparalleled visibility, even under harsh field lighting. The interface is intuitive, featuring a unique piechart navigation system paired with a straightforward rotary “jog dial,” minimizing operator training time and ensuring repeatable, error-free results. The display supports concurrent visualization of up to six traces—enabling efficient phase and memory comparisons crucial for diagnosing complex cable faults or confirming repairs. Ergonomically, the Teleflex VX reflectometer is engineered with user comfort in mind, making it as suitable for brief checks as for in-depth, prolonged troubleshooting sessions. A unique on-screen keyboard, self-guided menus, and ARM multi-shot technology further streamline workflows, ensuring that even the most challenging cable faults are found fast, reliably, and documented for regulatory or maintenance records.

Revolutionary Fault Location through Adaptive Technologies

At the heart of the Teleflex VX lies its mastery of all known “prelocation” techniques, including ARM (Arc Reflection Method), ICE (Impulse Current Decoupling), and DECAY methods. Its adaptive triggering ensures that TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) measurements capture faults with flawless timing, delivering the most accurate and actionable results possible. With the industry-leading ARM Multishot technology, up to 15 HV traces per trigger are recorded per event—groundbreaking for utilities facing wet cable faults, PILC (Paper Insulated Lead Covered) cable anomalies, or exceptionally long transmissions lines. Furthermore, the VX’s ProRange feature dynamically compensates for signal loss over distance, enhancing the clarity of far-end reflections without distorting near-field data. No matter the cable’s condition—whether it’s solid dielectric, paper insulated, wet, or buried under kilometers of sea or land—Teleflex VX adapts instantly and delivers complete and actionable data.

Seamless Integration and Robust Data Management Capabilities

Full integration in modern operational environments is essential, and the Teleflex VX Reflectometer rises to the challenge. Physical separation between display and measuring hardware—communicated by Ethernet—enables the system’s use in offshore, subsea, and remote installations, including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). This architectural flexibility makes the VX ideal for locating faults in submarine cables, wind farms, and long transnational interconnectors. Data management features are robust and practical: results are automatically stored for ninety days, with permanent storage options exceeding 100,000 records on the integrated 64GB SSD. Export via USB supports direct printing, PDF creation, or effortless import into MeggerBook Lite for detailed trace analysis and reporting—compatible with utility and industrial documentation systems worldwide. The system also boasts a Linux-based OS with robust cybersecurity protocols, supporting remote access and secure control via TeamViewer or local Ethernet.

Unmatched Efficiency in Diverse Field Applications

The application spectrum of the Megger Teleflex VX Reflectometer is vast, from pinpointing faults in sprawling utility HV cables, diagnosing issues in complex submarine power lines, to certifying new cable installations through precise fingerprinting. During the commissioning phase of new cables, the VX’s fingerprinting option provides an impedance baseline—a reference indispensable for future fault comparison and integrity assurance. In maintenance, the rapid identification of cable faults ensures minimized downtime, reducing the cost and duration of service disruption—a direct benefit for utilities and critical infrastructure operators. Industrial users benefit from advanced three-phase TDR measurements, phase comparisons, partial discharge pinpointing, and even handling energized LV circuits (up to 440V AC with an appropriate separation filter). Stand-alone or integrated with thumpers (surge generators), the VX reflects operational flexibility that accommodates every possible field scenario.

Durability, Convenience, and Leading Technical Support

Housed in a rugged, sealed casing with an IP65 rating for enclosed operation, the Teleflex VX is built to withstand extremes—from arctic cold to desert heat (-10°C to +50°C operating range). Its robust construction ensures that it is always ready for punishing outdoor use, while the wide mains supply range (100-240 V AC) provides versatility in global settings. All included accessories—connection leads, separation filters, and optional long-distance range extenders for overhead lines or submarine applications—have been certified for seamless integration, guaranteeing maximum accuracy, user safety, and operational efficiency. The device’s maintenance requirements are minimal, and it is protected by automatic self-check calibration features, ensuring reliable readiness and consistent results over years of intensive field use.
