Data record instr.cable-fault-locator.surge-voltage-selection

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

The lowest surge voltage that makes the fault appear is the one used, because the energy delivered to the cable rises with the square of the voltage and repeated surging at a much higher voltage can turn lesser points of damage into new insulation failures that need further repairs.
