About the product

PRIMEON is a compact, vehicle-installed, centrally controlled cable fault location and cable testing system built around Megger's STX 40 platform. It brings together automated operation, integrated safety functions, and a wide range of fault-location methods in one platform, helping operators work faster and with greater confidence on low- and medium-voltage cable networks.

Modern cable fault location in one system

PRIMEON is operated via a single central control unit with a graphical user interface, multi-touch operation, and a single rotary control. Automated switching with software-controlled motorised HV switches supports fault location, testing, and optional diagnostic workflows, while the Linux operating system provides stable operation and resilient restart behaviour.

The base system brings together nine built-in fault location technologies:

insulation resistance measurement

DC breakdown detection (DC hipot)
DC burning for fault conversion
time domain reflectometry with integrated Teleflex® RDR radar
Arc Reflection Method (ARM) with inductive filter and BestPicture® Multishot
impulse current decoupling (ICE)
voltage decoupling (Decay)
magnetic-acoustic surge pinpointing with the digiPHONE+2
sheath testing and sheath fault pinpointing using the step voltage method

Designed for safe, flexible field deployment

PRIMEON has been designed for demanding field work, with safety features including F-Ohm earth loop monitoring, F-U touch potential and reference earth monitoring, door contacts, emergency stop functions, safety key switches, and immediate discharging and earthing in the event of power loss. It is compliant with EN 61010, EN 50191, VDE 0104, VDE 0105, and relevant DGUV requirements.

Configurable to match your application

The system can be tailored with optional packages for utility location, enhanced fault conversion, sheath integrity testing, VLF testing, Tan Delta measurement, and partial discharge diagnostics. It is also available in a range of configurations to suit different operational needs, including various vehicle platforms, trailer solutions, and skid-mounted installations, where the system is integrated onto a fixed platform for transport and deployment. Optional generator and battery power kit packages further expand where and how the system can be used, including applications where direct mains access is limited. With the optional battery power kit, PRIMEON can also support extended field work away from direct mains supply, with charging options including solar input, generator supply, and vehicle alternator charging.

Insulation resistance testing
Time domain reflectometry (Radar)
HV DC testing (DC hipot)
Fault conditioning (Burning)
TDR-based and transient methods
Magnetic-acoustic pinpointing via surging/thumping in multiple voltage ranges
Sheath testing and sheath fault pinpointing

PRIMEON comes with an in-built radar of the Teleflex RDR type for time domain reflectometry (TDR). Furthermore, it comes with with an insulation testing unit, a very powerful high voltage DC source, a multi-stage surge wave generator (thumper) for pinpointing with the digiPHONE+2, a high frequency burner for fault conversion, and a set of industry-standard radar-based and transient prelocation methods. Everything is operated from one central control unit that runs the graphic user interface.
