Baur PHG 80 VLF Tester Repair
The Baur PHG 80 is an 80 kV VLF (0.1 Hz) high-voltage cable test set — used to withstand-test medium-voltage cable insulation without the space-charge problems of DC hipot. As an HV-generation instrument, its faults concentrate in the output stage, regulation, and metering.
June Company repairs and calibrates the PHG 80 for cable-testing contractors and utility crews.
Common PHG 80 problems we fix
- Won’t reach 80 kV or output collapses — HV output-stage failure, often after a cable flashover, rebuilt for full VLF output.
- Waveform distorted or unstable — regulation degradation on the 0.1 Hz output, repaired to spec.
- Voltage/leakage metering off — measurement drift, recalibrated.
- Internal HV arcing — insulation breakdown from stress.
- Control or interlock faults.
FAQs
My PHG 80 won’t reach voltage after a flashover — fixable? Yes. HV output-stage damage from a flashover is the most common fault and it’s repairable, then verified so it delivers a clean full-voltage VLF waveform again.
Is the output certified? Yes — voltage and frequency verified with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.

Packing your equipment. You are responsible for packaging equipment adequately for transit. We strongly recommend the original manufacturer’s case, or double-boxing with at least two inches of shock-absorbing material on all six sides. We return your equipment in the packaging it arrived in, so please send it in packaging that will survive the return trip as well. If your packaging is damaged or inadequate for the return, we will substitute suitable packaging and may charge the cost of materials.
Insurance. Equipment is not insured by June Company while in transit. We strongly recommend insuring your shipment for its full replacement value.
Risk of loss. Risk of loss remains with you until your equipment is received at our facility, and transfers back to you when your repaired unit is delivered to the carrier (F.O.B. shipping point). June Company is not responsible for equipment lost, delayed, misdelivered, or damaged in transit, in either direction.
Return label. A prepaid and preprinted return shipping label should be included with your shipment. If one is not included, we will provide one.
