The BAUR PGK 50 (commonly seen as the PGK 50 E) is a compact, portable DC high-voltage testing device. It is primarily engineered for the on-site diagnostic testing of paper-insulated mass-impregnated (PILC) cables and other electrical equipment within medium-voltage networks. Housed in a rugged carrying case, it is a highly reliable tool for determining insulation resistance and verifying the dielectric health of high-voltage assets in the field.

Here are the key features of the equipment:

• High Voltage DC Output: Generates a continuously adjustable, negative DC test voltage from 0 up to 50 kV.

   

• Sensitive Current Measurement: Features an accurate, multi-range ammeter capable of measuring extremely small insulation leakage currents (down to 20 nA) across six decadal ranges.

   

• Integrated Timer: Includes a built-in timer (1 to 30 minutes) that automatically shuts off the high voltage and initiates the discharge sequence once the test duration is complete.

   

• Automatic Discharge Unit: Equipped with an internal discharge mechanism designed for a maximum energy of 8,000 Joules, ensuring the test object is safely grounded even in the event of a power failure.

   

• Field-Ready Portability: The high-voltage transformer, secondary voltage-multiplier, and all connection cables are integrated into a single, highly robust, and relatively lightweight case built for harsh on-site environments.

   

• Comprehensive Safety Systems: Complies with strict safety standards, featuring a short-circuit-proof design, transient wave protection, and dedicated connections for external emergency-off units, door contacts, and signal lamps.
