Description

Megger SG15-1150M Cable Fault Locator Repair

The SG15-1150M is a Surge Generator / thumper system — a trailer- or van-mounted cable fault locator that stores high-voltage energy and discharges it into a faulted cable to produce an audible thump for pinpointing, paired with prelocation methods. This is high-energy HV equipment, so its faults are HV-section faults: the surge capacitor, the HV supply, and the discharge switching take the stress.

June Company repairs and calibrates the SG15-1150M for utility fault crews and underground cable contractors who need it working when a feeder is down.

Common SG15-1150M problems we fix

Won’t build voltage or won’t thump — HV supply or surge-capacitor failure, the defining fault of a thumper. Repaired so it charges and discharges at full energy again.
Weak or inconsistent surge energy — discharge-switch (gap/relay) wear that robs the surge of punch, restored for a solid, locatable thump.
Prelocation (TDR/ARM) not working — the reflection/prelocation circuitry that narrows the search before thumping.
HV arcing or leakage internally — insulation breakdown in the HV section from age and stress.
Control or sequencing faults — the control system that manages charge/discharge timing safely.

FAQs

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

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