5. BROKEN WIRES IN CABLES Faults in damaged flexible cables are found by applying low voltage to each conductor in turn earthing the remainder and moving the tester along the cable until the change in condition is obtained flexible cables as used in mining and building industries are readily repairable when the break in the cable is located NON CONTACT ADVISE It is advised that the tester should not come into contact with cables kV as this tester is merely an Non Contact A C Proximity Tester This advise is particularly useful to protect users which do not respect protection and safety rules and who do not wear protective gear Never work or be alone in the proximity of high voltage LIMITATIONS OF THE PEG It is recommended that this tester is not used in H V Yards of mixed voltages In the presence of mixed voltages the user will not be able to pin point exactly which cable is the source of H V This tester has been designed to be used as a personal safety proximity voltage detector alarm This is not a measuring instrument Problems can be arose when the tertiary circuit of a 275 133 11kV transformer is tested The electric field of the H V And M V Bus bars can trigger the detector when it is about 3m above the ground this is common with most of the electric field PEG and the users should be aware of it The tester could pick up adjacent circuit to the one being tested and indicates the wrong information to the
