Bowden Brothers MK8 Rightway Pathfinder - Portable overhead line FPI
(Bowden Brothers also known as Bowdens / Bowden Bros)
The highly successful portable MK8 Pathfinder is used as a linesman or fault repair team’s tool to localize either an earth fault, or a phase to phase fault on an 11 or 33KV overhead line. The Portable FPI can be strapped to a clean pole at eye level and after re-energising the line, will tell the operator whether the fault is beyond that pole. With a number of units, a sometimes hard to find fault can be pin pointed very quickly.
The MK8 is powered by a long life Lithium battery which will give at least an 8 year life under normal operating conditions. A battery test facility is built into the switch on routine.
NB:
- This product comes with standard straps.
