InteliSENS® ST-DC Spark Tester Series

Direct Current Spark Testers

The ST1025-DC-i4 Spark Tester is for production line testing of cables (up to 25 mm diameter) for pinhole and bare patch insulation faults. The ST1025-DC-i4 outputs a user adjustable, EHT test voltage of up to 10 kV DC.

Typical applications are insulation testing of small power cables, automotive cables, equipment wiring cables and telephony and data transmission cables. DC spark testing is excellent for foam insulation and thin insulation, as well as for cables with multiple conductors.

Connect any ST-i4 unit to your PLC via EtherNet, PROFIBUS, PROFINET or EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol), which are all included as standard options, and industry standard communications interfaces such as logic, speed pulse, and analogue inputs, relay and analogue outputs, and CANbus connector for a Proton Products touch screen display interface.
