Renting the Amprobe AF‑600 A‑Frame Cable Ground Fault Locator in Bangladesh

Ground faults in cables where the metallic conductor or shielding makes unintended contact with the earth can cause energy leakage, interference, equipment noise, or even safety hazards. The Amprobe AF‑600 A‑Frame is a specialized locator designed to precisely identify these fault points in underground or buried cables. Paired with a compatible transmitter, it helps pinpoint exactly where the fault is, saving time, reducing repair costs, and increasing reliability. Now you can explore the Fault Testing & Diagnostics and equipment at the best price in Bangladesh.

Why Rent the AF‑600 in Bangladesh

  • Cost Efficiency: Rather than purchasing a niche, high-end fault locator, renting gives access when and where you need it.
  • Project-Based Need: Ideal for maintenance shutdowns, cable fault campaigns, or utility inspections in large or critical installations.
  • Precision Fault Finding: With its digital compass and automatic gain, the AF‑600 offers accurate and reliable fault pinpointing.
  • Minimize Cable Damage: By detecting the exact ground fault location, repair teams can target their work precisely, minimizing unnecessary digging or disturbance.
  • Portable & Field-Ready: Lightweight and battery-operated, making it suitable for remote or rough terrain across industrial or utility sites.

Applications in Bangladesh

  1. Power Distribution Networks
    Utilities can use the AF‑600 to find grounding issues in underground power cables, improving efficiency and safety.

  2. Telecom & Data Lines
    Detect ground faults in shielded data lines or communication cables, which may degrade signal integrity or cause failure.

  3. Pipeline & Sheath Testing
    Used for verifying coating or sheath faults on armed pipelines or metal-sheathed cables.

  4. Industrial Sites & Plants
    Locate fault points before executing repairs or overhauls on long-range cable systems in factories or process plants.

  5. Preventive Maintenance & Safety Audits
    Conduct regular ground-fault inspections as part of plant reliability programs to avoid unexpected faults, outages, or safety risks.

Typical Rental Terms in Bangladesh (Estimated)

  • Rental Periods: Daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on the scope of work.
  • Included Items: The A‑Frame locator, six AA batteries, and a carrying case. (Note: Transmitter is rented separately — UAT‑600‑T required.)
  • Battery Supply: AA batteries included, but keep spare batteries for extended field use.
  • Deposit: Rental providers may require a refundable security deposit due to the specialized nature of the device.
  • Calibration/Maintenance: Units should be calibrated and maintained by the rental provider to ensure accuracy.
  • Training/Support: Basic orientation or operational training may be offered by the rental company, especially for first-time users.
  • Delivery & Pickup: Rental companies often deliver to major industrial or utility zones in the country.

Best Practices for Effective Use

  • Prepare the Cable: Disconnect and isolate the cable at both ends during testing to avoid interference from other grounding or bonding paths.
  • Use Proper Grounding: Ensure a solid reference ground point; the A-Frame spikes must make firm contact with the soil.
  • Follow Directional Guidance: Use the onboard compass guidance, left/right tone, and numeric field strength to navigate to the fault.
  • Adjust Sensitivity: Allow the automatic gain control to adjust, but fine-tune volume or gain if signals are erratic or weak.
  • Mark Fault Location: Once you detect the fault, mark it physically on the ground so maintenance crews can dig or repair precisely.
  • Discharge Before Digging: Confirm that the cable is not energized, then safely discharge or de-energize before making any repairs to avoid risk.

Renting the Amprobe AF‑600 A‑Frame Cable Ground Fault Locator in Bangladesh is a strategic choice for electrical contractors, utility companies, and maintenance teams who need to find and fix ground faults precisely and efficiently. This tool offers high accuracy, directional guidance, and rugged design — all without requiring a permanent purchase. For projects ranging from fault-finding campaigns to preventive maintenance audits, the AF‑600 rental option provides reliable performance and cost savings.

Key Features: Amprobe AF-600 A-Frame Cable Ground Fault Locator

  • Optional accessory for Amprobe UAT-600 Underground Utilities Locator Series
  • Works in conjunction with the UAT-600-T Transmitter
  • Locate cable and wires ground faults, sheath faults or pipeline coating defects (direct contact of the utility with the ground is required to pinpoint a fault)
  • Used to find the point where metal is touching the ground (shield is rusted/rubber buffer is broken) and power is leaking, creating noise on a cable
  • Find the point of leakage around a cable (ground faults are common problems with electric cables) – saves money by pinpointing leakage point
  • Adjustable volume control
  • Advanced technology and digital signal processing makes pinpointing process fast, accurate and unambiguous:
      1. Compass guidance with numeric fault field strength indicates direction to the place of the fault
      2. Distance sensitive left/right guidance guides the user to precisely follow the path of the buried utility
      3. Automatic gain control quickly detects tracing signal and precisely adjust A-Frame sensitivity
