Baur ATG 2 Burn Down Transformer Repair
The Baur ATG 2 is a burn-down (cable conditioning) transformer — it applies high voltage to a faulted cable to “burn down” a high-resistance fault into a lower-resistance one that prelocation and pinpointing equipment can then locate. It’s high-energy HV equipment, so its faults are HV-section faults: the HV generator, regulation, and switching take the stress.
June Company repairs and calibrates the Baur ATG 2 for cable fault crews and underground contractors.
Common Baur ATG 2 problems we fix
- HV surge/generator failure — won’t produce or sustain the high voltage needed to condition the fault, the defining ATG fault, rebuilt for full output.
- Output won’t regulate — voltage/current regulation faults during the burn process, repaired.
- Internal HV arcing or leakage — insulation breakdown from cumulative HV stress.
- Switching or contactor faults — the HV switching that controls the burn.
- Control or interlock faults — the safety and sequencing circuits.
FAQs
My ATG 2 won’t build voltage to burn the fault — repairable? Yes. That points to the HV generator or regulation; both are serviceable, then verified so it conditions faults safely at full output.
Is the HV section safe after repair? Yes — insulation integrity and safe operation are verified before return.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
