Reliable spark tester

Designed for diverse cable types, Sikora offers high frequency, DC and AC testers for reliable fault and bare wire detection. All Spark testers include powerful signal processors. Spark 2000 UL, a high frequency, high voltage spark tester with a robust bead chain electrode, precisely detects defects in the insulation during production. It is typically used for building wires, automotive wires and signal cables. The test voltage is continuously adjustable. Spark 2000 DC is a DC spark tester, especially developed for the testing of telephone wires, data cables and mini- coax cables with foam insulation. The solid electrode and the electronic box of the spark testers form one integral unit. Optionally, the display and control device Remote 2000 can be fully integrated. The successful spark tester range also includes models for specific applications such as the Spark 2000 BS, a high voltage AC test device for cables with bigger diameters up to 200 mm.

All spark testers conform to approved test standards (AS, BS, CS, CENELEC, EN, UL, VDE) and safety regulations (as demanded by DIN/VDE 0800, IEC 479-1).
