HDE UCT-8 Underground Cable Tester 8kVDC Hi Pot Kit for Overhead and Underground Systems UCT-8/K02

The HDE UCT-8 Underground Cable Tester is a self contained 8kVDC Hi Pot testing system designed for linemen and utility crews to evaluate de energized shielded underground primary cable before it is placed back into service. Its compact, lightweight design allows single hot stick operation while providing clear pass or fault indications without requiring an external power source.

An integrated safety feature checks for the presence of AC voltage before switching to DC testing, helping protect operators during underground cable testing and fault location.
