Overview
About the Omicron TESTRANO 600
Description
The OMICRON TESTRANO 600 is a portable, multifunctional three-phase test system designed for fast and efficient transformer diagnostics. It combines multiple transformer tests into a single unit, significantly reducing setup time and complexity. TESTRANO 600 allows you to perform winding resistance, turns ratio, short-circuit impedance, excitation current, and frequency response of stray losses (FRSL) tests without reconfiguring leads between measurements. Fully automated and controlled via PTM software, it is ideal for condition assessment during commissioning, routine maintenance, or factory acceptance testing on power transformers, autotransformers, and distribution units.
Features
• Performs up to 8 standard transformer tests from a single connection
• Three-phase simultaneous winding resistance measurement
• Integrated transformer turns ratio (TTR) and voltage ratio testing
• Short-circuit impedance and leakage reactance measurement
• Excitation current and magnetic balance testing
• Fully automated test sequences via OMICRON PTM software
• Suitable for power and distribution transformers, autotransformers, and dry-type transformers
• Portable design with robust housing for field use
• Supplied with colour-coded cables, clamp sets, test plan templates, and transport 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 TESTRANO 600
What does the TESTRANO 600 test?
It performs key electrical tests on power transformers including winding resistance, ratio, impedance, excitation current, vector group checks, and more, without re-cabling between tests.
How is it different from the CPC 100?
TESTRANO is a dedicated transformer test system that automates multiple tests with a single 3-phase connection. CPC 100 is more versatile for broader asset testing but requires more manual lead changes for transformer diagnostics.
Can it test three phases at once?
Yes. TESTRANO supports three-phase simultaneous testing, which saves time and improves accuracy during winding resistance, TTR, and impedance tests.
Does it support SFRA?
No. The TESTRANO 600 measures frequency response of stray losses (FRSL). Sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA) is performed with the FRANEO 800, also in the Megavar hire fleet.
What software does the TESTRANO 600 use?
Many tests can be performed using the TESTRANO TouchControl front panel without external software. For advanced workflows, asset management, and reporting, customer to supply own laptop with Omicron Primary Test Manager (PTM) installed.
Can it test dry-type and autotransformers?
Yes. TESTRANO is compatible with a wide variety of transformer types including dry-type, oil-filled, and autotransformers.
What’s included in the rental?
• TESTRANO 600 main unit
• Test cables and Kelvin clamps
• Voltage/current probe sets
• Transport case
• Customer to supply own laptop with Omicron Primary Test Manager (PTM) installed
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.
