Baur Frida VLF tester Main Image

Baur Frida VLF tester

The portable BAUR Frida devices are used for testing medium-voltage cables and electrical equipment (generators, transformers and switchgear) and for cable sheath testing.
The VLF testing makes it possible to locate insulation faults in plastic- and paper-insulated mass-impregnated cables in the shortest of testing times without impairing the quality of the surrounding insulating material. The dissipation factor diagnostics with 0.1 Hz VLF truesinus® provides differentiated information on the ageing condition of paper-insulated mass-impregnated and PE/XLPE cables. In the case of PE/XLPE cables, the dissipation factor measurement is capable of differentiating between new, slightly or severely “water tree”-damaged cables. This makes it possible to prioritise the need to replace cables.

The Baur Frida is a portable and powerful high-voltage test set, used for cable and cable sheath testing of medium-voltage and electrical equipment with the additional function to Insulation testing on electrical equipment.
