A thumper is a device that charges up a large capacitor sometimes as much as 60kv dc at 1 farad,to find a short the thumper produces an echo time delay then used to find where the cable is faulty.

ive been on site to see a thumper try and blow clear a intermitant cable fault under a motorway
it failed miserably and we ended up trenching out the slip road in the end.

brains over braun as they say.

A thumper is used to locate a short not clear it

I used a mega and or a time domain reflectometer back in the eighties. They were both pretty accurate i.e. to within about a meter over hundreds of yards (little meters). It was a sod when someone left a loop of cable in the run though!
