Baur SSG 1100 Surge Voltage Generator Repair
The Baur SSG 1100 is a surge voltage generator (thumper) in the mid-energy range of the SSG line — it stores and discharges high-voltage energy into a faulted cable to produce the audible thump used for pinpointing. Its energy rating suits typical distribution-cable work, and as HV discharge equipment its faults are HV-section faults.
June Company repairs and calibrates the SSG 1100 for utility fault crews and underground cable contractors.
Common SSG 1100 problems we fix
- Won’t charge or won’t thump — HV supply or surge-capacitor failure, the defining thumper fault, rebuilt for full-energy discharge.
- Weak or inconsistent surge — discharge-switch wear reducing thump energy, restored for a solid, locatable thump.
- Internal HV arcing or leakage — insulation breakdown from cumulative stress.
- Control or sequencing faults — charge/discharge timing.
- Interlock or safety-circuit faults.
FAQs
My SSG 1100 thump is weak — repairable? Yes. Weak surge usually means a tired capacitor or worn discharge switch; we restore full energy and verify safe discharge.
Is the HV section safe afterward? Yes — insulation integrity and safe charge/discharge are verified before return.
