Description
Baur Shirla Cable Fault Locator Repair
The Baur Shirla is a cable sheath fault locator and sheath-testing system — it finds faults in the outer cable sheath (jacket) using the step-voltage method, walking a crew to the exact spot where the sheath is breached. It pairs an HV test source with a sensitive step-voltage detection method, so faults span both.
June Company repairs and calibrates the Baur Shirla for utility crews and contractors locating sheath faults.
Common Baur Shirla problems we fix
- Won’t apply test voltage — HV source faults that stop the sheath test, repaired for full output.
- Step-voltage detection weak or wrong — the detection method that pinpoints the sheath fault, recalibrated for accurate locating.
- Arc-reflection / prelocation faults — prelocation functions not working, restored.
- Won’t hold a charge — battery degradation, replaced.
- Display or control faults.
FAQs
My Shirla won’t pinpoint the sheath fault — fixable? Yes. Usually it’s the step-voltage detection or the HV source; both are repairable, then verified so sheath faults locate accurately again.
Is it calibrated after repair? Yes — verified against our standards with documented results.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
