The BAUR Shirla is a compact, all-in-one system designed for testing cable insulation and locating sheath faults in LV/MV networks. It performs cable sheath testing, fault pre-location, and pinpointing using advanced bridge methods (Murray & Glaser), ensuring accurate identification of earth faults and insulation damage. Widely used during commissioning and maintenance, it reduces downtime by quickly locating faults with meter-level accuracy.
Technical Highlights: Test voltage: 0–10 kV DC | Measuring method: 4-wire bridge (Murray & Glaser) | Accuracy: ~0.1% | Pulsed voltage: up to 10 kV for step voltage fault pinpointing | Output current: up to 50 mA (bridge), 700 mA (pulse mode) | Insulation resistance: 0.01 MΩ to 1 GΩ | Automatic evaluation with USB reporting | Mains & battery operation.
Ideal for cable fault location, sheath testing, and insulation diagnostics in power distribution systems
