The Megger M-Thump5 is a portable low-voltage cable fault location system delivering up to 1000 J at 5 kV, designed for proof testing (0-5 kV DC), insulation resistance measurement, and sheath fault pinpointing, with a TDR range of up to 52 km. It supports multiple prelocation methods (TDR with phase comparison, ARM Multishot, ICE, burn ARM) and pinpointing techniques (surge/thumping at 5 kV, voltage gradient at 1 kV/500 mA or 1-5 kV/70 mA).

The rugged aluminum enclosure features a 7-inch HiBrite color display, IP54 rating, and an internal isolation transformer for safe operation. The E-TRAY interface automates test sequences, while Quick-Steps and Expert modes cater to novice and experienced users, with an F-Ohm safety check and USB interface for data transfer.

The kit includes the M-Thump5 unit, HV connection leads (10 mm MC), and a termination kit (US or international), with optional ESG-NT2 or digiPHONE 2 for enhanced pinpointing. No warranty is specified, making it ideal for efficient cable fault diagnostics in utility and industrial applications.
