Baur SSG 1500 Surge Voltage Generator Repair
The Baur SSG 1500 is a higher-energy surge generator in the SSG family, often configured as part of a complete fault-location system with built-in prelocation. The added energy handles longer or higher-class cables, and because it integrates prelocation, faults span both the thumping HV side and the prelocation functions.
June Company repairs and calibrates the SSG 1500 for utility crews working longer distribution and sub-transmission cable.
Common SSG 1500 problems we fix
- Arc-reflection / prelocation not working — the prelocation functions paired with the surge, restored so faults narrow before thumping.
- No surge / won’t charge — HV supply or capacitor failure, rebuilt for full energy.
- Weak surge energy — discharge-switch wear, restored.
- Internal HV arcing — insulation breakdown from stress.
- Control or interlock faults.
FAQs
My SSG 1500 prelocation is down — fixable? Yes. We restore the arc-reflection/prelocation functions and verify them with the surge side so the full locate workflow works again.
Is the surge energy verified? Yes — discharge performance and safe operation are checked, with documented results.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
