SPARK 2000

Essential at every cable
production line

High frequency, high voltage and direct current spark testers

With the models of the SPARK 2000 series SIKORA fulfills essential requirements that are demanded for a spark tester today. Especially designed for diverse cable types SIKORA offers high frequency, DC and AC testers you can rely on. SPARK 2000 UL, a high frequency (3 to 4.5 KHz) high voltage spark tester with a robust bead chain electrode precisely detects defects in the insulation during the production. It is typically used for building wires, automotive wires and cable signal. The test voltage is continuously adjustable in a range of 0.5 to 15 KV.

SPARK 2000 DC, 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 2000 UL and 2000 DC 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 test device for cables with bigger diameters up to 170 mm.

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