IUP Fault Wizard 2 — Primary Cable Fault Location System

The IUP Fault Wizard 2 is a powerful, portable fault locating system designed for fast, reliable identification of faults in primary underground cables. Combining advanced arc-reflection technology with intuitive operation, this compact unit delivers precise distance-to-fault readings without requiring expert waveform interpretation — saving time and simplifying field diagnostics.

Key Features & Benefits

• Automated Arc-Reflection Technology: Uses high-voltage TDR arc reflection to automatically calculate and display the distance to the cable fault in feet or meters — no complex waveform interpretation needed.
• Three Modes in One Unit:
  • High-Voltage TDR Mode for quick fault distance and cable length.
  • Cycle Thump Mode for audio pinpointing.
  • DC Hi-Pot Mode for breakdown voltage testing.
• Portable & Field-Ready: Battery-operated design with a rugged, weather-shielded polyethylene case and ergonomic handles makes it ideal for remote locations and utility environments.
• Adjustable Output Voltage: Variable impulse voltage (0–10 kV) allows lower-voltage pulsing to minimize cable stress during diagnostics.
• Advanced Display: Real-time on-screen readouts include fault distance, fault type (open/short), propagation velocity, charge voltage, and battery status.
• Software Integration: Optional Fault Wizard 2 software enables waveform storage and PC viewing for post-analysis and documentation (software included).

Why Professionals Choose Fault Wizard 2

Engineered for utility crews, electrical contractors, and service technicians, the Fault Wizard 2 accelerates fault location in underground cable systems — even through transformers and complex network configurations. Its intuitive controls and automatic readouts reduce the training burden and enable technicians to restore service faster with confidence.

Technical Highlights

• Fault Location Range: Up to ~3 km (10,000 ft) from test point
• Output Voltage Range: 0–10 kV variable
• Portable Battery Operation: Internal rechargeable battery for remote use
• Rugged Case: Durable weather-shielded housing with handles

Fast. Accurate. Portable. The IUP Fault Wizard 2 simplifies underground cable fault location and empowers field teams with reliable, actionable data — making it an essential tool for utilities and electrical contractors.
