Q. Why Choose HVI Thumpers? A. HVI Thumpers Offer All The Features Needed. When fault locating, remember this: do no harm. Don’t harm you insulation and accessories by thumping your 15 k. V cable at 25 k. V for hours looking for a fault. Use the right methods and technologies. The goal should be to thump at the lowest possible voltage yet deliver the highest possible energy to find the fault. Locate the fault without making more. To do this you need a thumper with a variable hipot output, multiple full energy discharge outputs, and ample burn current to condition a fault to arc at a lower voltage. HVI thumpers offer all the features and power necessary: many others don’t. Don’t handicap your fault finding efforts by spending the same or more for ½ a thumper. HV thumpers provide all the tools needed. Fully Variable Hipot Output On All Three Voltage Taps Needed to identify faulted cable, show breakdown voltage to help choose tap, burn fault, hipot cables after repair Highest Burn Current Burns down faults to permit thumping at lower, less damaging voltage levels. Some vendors offer no hipot/burn Three Output Voltage Taps All At Full Energy Allows thumping at lower voltages. Noise of 1000 joules @ 5 k. V = noise of 1000 joules @ 20 k. V Variable Discharge Rate: 6 – 10 second discharge/thump rate. Faster and slower discharge rates are not advisable TDR/Radar Ready Use your old TDR or buy a new one. A separate TDR box is advantageous over a TDR built-in to the thumper: greater flexibility, versatility, ease in service, use without thumper, take to office for downloading and training, etc. Battery Operation HVI thumpers are not battery operated. Thumpers of this class that are battery operated must sacrifice other necessary features, like variable hipot outputs and cable burning, missing half of what a thumper should offer. In addition, some have a very long duration between discharges, greatly slowing the fault locate. Also, the battery times are short, and that’s assuming that you remembered to keep it charged between uses. To get battery operation is not worth all that must be given up. 3/18/2018 3

TDR/RADAR INTERFACE To TDR/Radar 120 V power All HVI thumpers have both a Signal and external Trigger TDR interface to accommodate all TDR designs. 3/18/2018 6

TDR/Radar conveniently mounts to thumper lid for perfect viewing angle. Separate TDR offers many advantages over those builtinto the thumper. Nearly any TDR produced works well with the HVI thumpers. Arc Reflection & Current Impulse Detection 3/18/2018 7

DON’T BUY ½ A THUMPER FROM SOME OTHER VENDOR. GET IT ALL FROM HVI Remember, thump at the lowest possible voltage yet still deliver full energy. Find your fault without making more. The HVI thumpers, with the highest burn currents to reduce fault voltages, and the lowest voltage output settings at full energy/joules, do this best. Don’t buy a 12. 5/25 k. V or 14/28 k. V thumper when you can get the 5/10/20 k. V model from HVI. Thump at 5 k. V, not 12. 5 k. V. Some vendors’ thumpers have no variable hipot output and no burn method, essentially offering ½ of what a thumper should be. Don’t handicap your fault finding abilities. Get all the tools needed with an HVI thumper: Variable Hipot, Burner, 3 Output Voltages. 3/18/2018 13
