The Bicotest AXXIS S5000 is a professional-grade 12kV high-voltage sheath fault location system designed for the precise diagnosis and pinpointing of faults in underground power cables. Engineered for utility providers and electrical contractors, the S5000 provides a comprehensive solution for maintaining network reliability by detecting minor insulation breaches before they escalate into costly cable failures.

This modular system excels in both fault pre-location and pinpointing. The S271T Transmitter delivers a powerful 12kV output, allowing for effective testing across long cable runs. When paired with the S271R Receiver and S271M Magnetometer, users can accurately narrow down fault areas even in environments with high electrical noise. For the final stage of repair, the S271P earth probes detect “step potential” leakage to locate the exact point of the sheath fault.

Key technical highlights include a 500mA maximum current output, pulsed signal modes for easier tracing, and full compliance with international safety standards. Its rugged, portable design makes it ideal for challenging field conditions. By utilizing the Bicotest AXXIS S5000, technicians can significantly reduce downtime, optimize maintenance schedules, and extend the lifespan of critical cable infrastructure.
