Description

Baur SSG 500 Surge Voltage Generator Repair

The Baur SSG 500 is a surge voltage generator (thumper) — it stores high-voltage energy and discharges it into a faulted cable to produce an audible thump for pinpointing, the workhorse of the pinpointing stage in cable fault location. As high-energy HV equipment, its faults are HV-section faults: the surge capacitor, HV supply, and discharge switching.

June Company repairs and calibrates the Baur SSG 500 for utility fault crews and underground cable contractors.

Common Baur SSG 500 problems we fix

Won’t build voltage or won’t thump — HV supply or surge-capacitor failure, the defining thumper fault, rebuilt so it charges and discharges at full energy.
Weak or inconsistent surge — discharge-switch wear robbing the surge of energy, restored for a solid, locatable thump.
Internal HV arcing or leakage — insulation breakdown from cumulative stress.
Control or sequencing faults — charge/discharge timing, repaired.
Interlock or safety-circuit faults.

FAQs

My SSG 500 won’t discharge — repairable? Yes. That’s almost always the HV supply, surge capacitor, or discharge switch — all serviceable, then verified so it delivers full surge energy safely.

Is the HV section safe after repair? Yes — insulation integrity and safe charge/discharge 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.

Shipping & Returns

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.

Transit damage. Damage occurring in transit is the responsibility of the carrier. It is not a warranty defect and is not covered by the 90-day repair warranty. Any claim must be filed by you with the carrier; we will supply photographs and documentation to support it at no charge.
