Overview
About the Omicron CP TD1 Tan Delta Accessory
Description
The CP + TD1 is a powerful test accessory designed for use with the OMICRON CPC 100 to perform accurate tan delta (dissipation factor) and capacitance testing on transformers, bushings, cables, and rotating machines. The system evaluates the dielectric condition of insulation materials under high voltage by measuring insulation losses, which are indicative of moisture, contamination, or ageing. Fully integrated into the CPC/PTM workflow, the CP + TD1 enables IEC- and IEEE-compliant testing with automated test sequences, real-time analysis, and built-in temperature correction. It is a compact, high-precision tool for commissioning and condition-based maintenance of high-voltage assets.
Features
• Performs automated tan delta and capacitance testing up to 12 kV
• Fully integrated with OMICRON CPC 100 and PTM software
• High measurement accuracy and noise rejection in field conditions
• Suitable for testing transformers, bushings, cables, generators, and motors
• Test methods per IEC 60076-3, IEEE C57.12.90 and IEEE C57.152
• Built-in temperature compensation and correction models
• Fast test execution with real-time graphical results
• Portable, rugged construction for substation and industrial environments
• Supplied with test leads, reference capacitor, and carry case

Calibration
All Megavar test equipment is maintained under a documented calibration programme. Instruments are calibrated either by external calibration laboratories or in-house against reference standards that are themselves laboratory-calibrated, with measurement traceable to Australian national measurement standards held by the National Measurement Institute. A current calibration certificate is available on request. If your project requires a specific calibration interval, test standard, or documentation for a client submission, tell us at enquiry on 1300 730 499 and we will confirm what applies before you commit.

How the hire works
Hire terms in brief
After you enquire
We confirm availability, rates and freight in a written quote, valid for the period it states (usually 14 days). An enquiry or quote does not reserve equipment: the hire is booked when your purchase order, signed quote or email acceptance reaches us.
Hire period
Our carrier: up to 72 hours of transit each way is not charged as hire. Hire starts at delivery or 72 hours after dispatch, whichever is earlier, and ends at handover to our carrier or 72 hours before the equipment arrives back, whichever is later. Delay caused by us or our carrier is not charged. For example, dispatched Monday 10am and delivered Wednesday 2pm: hire starts Wednesday 2pm. Routes that normally take longer than 72 hours are marked on the quote. Your own freight: hire runs from handover to your carrier at our office until the equipment arrives back at our office. Collect in person: from collection to return.
Extensions and early return
Contact us before the return deadline to extend; your quoted rates stay fixed and extended hire is invoiced every 7 days. Return early and you pay only for the days used, at the rate band for the days actually hired.
Delivery and returns
Freight for each leg, the handling fee and any express dispatch are on the quote, before you accept. Returns go to the dispatching office named on the quote, by carrier or in person, never by post.
Counter times
Returned to our counter before 9am on a business day counts as the previous day. Collected after 4pm on a business day, hire starts the next day. Weekends and public holidays count as hire days.
Calibration and checks
Supplied in working order with listed accessories, leads and manuals. Each measuring instrument is calibrated, and its current NATA-traceable calibration certificate is available on request. If calibration falls due during your hire, we tell you before dispatch.
Cancelling or moving a booking
Cancel 5 or more business days before dispatch or collection and nothing is charged. With 2 to 4 business days’ notice, the charge is the greater of one day’s hire and 5% of the booked hire; with less notice, the greater of one day’s hire and 10%. You can ask once to move the start by up to 30 days, with at least 2 business days’ notice.
Loss, damage and insurance
The equipment is your responsibility, other than fair wear and tear, from the start of hire until it is back with us, including in transit, up to the replacement value cap shown on the quote for each item. No damage waiver is offered. We recommend you insure the equipment for its replacement value.
Payment and bond
Account customers pay each invoice within 14 days. Without a credit account, or paying by card, you pay the booked hire, freight, handling fee and any bond before dispatch. A bond applies only where the quote states one, and is refunded after return and inspection, less anything owed.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Omicron CP TD1 Tan Delta Accessory
What is the CP + TD1 used for?
It is used to measure the dissipation factor (tan delta) and capacitance of insulation systems in high-voltage equipment. These tests provide valuable information about insulation ageing, moisture, and contamination.
What does tan delta indicate?
A high or rising tan delta value typically indicates dielectric losses due to ageing, water ingress, or contamination in insulation systems.
Which equipment can I test with it?
You can test power transformers, bushings, rotating machines, power cables, and other high-voltage assets during commissioning or scheduled maintenance.
Does it integrate with CPC 100?
Yes. The CP + TD1 is specifically designed to work with the OMICRON CPC 100, with full integration into the PTM software for test automation and reporting.
Do I need any other accessories?
The CP CU1 is not needed. The CP TD1 runs from the CPC 100, which controls it, and performs both ungrounded specimen tests (UST) and grounded specimen tests (GST) using its own test modes. The CP CU1 is not used for tan delta; it is a coupling unit for line and earth grid impedance measurements with the CPC 100.
Is the system portable and field-ready?
Yes. The CP + TD1 is housed in a rugged, lightweight enclosure and designed for use in substations and industrial plants.
What’s included in the rental?
The rental includes the CP TD1 unit, reference capacitor, HV test and ground leads, and transport case. Customer to supply own laptop with Omicron Primary Test Manager (PTM) installed (the CP TD1 is operated via the CPC 100 running PTM). CU1 unit available on request.
What support comes with the hire?
Each instrument is supplied with the manufacturer’s manuals. If a set plays up, call us and we will arrange a fix or a replacement.
What is the minimum rental period?
The minimum hire is one day. The daily rate steps down for hires of 8 days or more, and longer project hires can be quoted on 1300 730 499.
Can I hire this with the CPC 100?
Yes. We offer bundled CPC 100 + CP TD1 packages for complete insulation testing capability.
