Overview
About the Omicron CPX 200 for Hire Multifunctional Test Set
Description
The Omicron CPX 200 is a next-generation multifunctional test set for commissioning, maintenance, and condition assessment of medium and high-voltage assets. In a single compact system weighing less than 30 kg, the CPX 200 tests power transformers, instrument transformers, and switchgear. This is work that previously required multiple separate instruments. Hire the CPX 200 from Megavar with Australia-wide delivery.
Features
- True three-phase voltage source, enabling three-phase TTR and excitation testing in a single setup, with single-phase mode available for diagnostic detail
- Frequency range from 1 to 600 Hz and DC, wider than legacy primary test sets, supporting more accurate insulation diagnostics across the full assessment spectrum
- Modular Click and Play architecture. Start with the CPX 200 main unit (10.6 kg) and add the High Current Module (3.3 kg, up to 1000 A AC and DC) and HVX10 (14.8 kg, up to 10 kV AC and DC) as the scope demands
- Integrated 125 V DC station-battery emulation, driving medium-voltage breaker coils for timing tests without an external battery, ideal for isolated MV switchgear
- 9-inch colour multi-touch display with ambient brightness sensor, readable indoors and outdoors, supports on-device testing via CPX TouchControl without a laptop
- INTERLOCK key, EN 50191-compliant safety workflow, red and green signal lights, and emergency stop, engineered to industry-leading safety standards
- CPXpert PC software with guided workflows, integrated wiring diagrams, and one-click reporting, synchronising automatically with the CORTEX Grid cloud platform (customer to supply own laptop with CPXpert installed)
- Two outputs (OUT A: convertible AC/DC current and voltage; OUT B: true three-phase AC/DC voltage) plus 2 voltage inputs, 2 current inputs, and binary I/O
- EtherCAT system component connection plus dual IEC 61850 SFP cages, future-proof connectivity for digital substation work
- Total system weight under 30 kg with the High Current Module and HVX10 attached, backpack or transport-case carry
Common Applications
The CPX 200 supports the full primary-asset testing scope across transmission and distribution substations:
- Power transformer commissioning and routine testing: TTR (single and three-phase), winding resistance, demagnetisation, short-circuit impedance and leakage reactance, including up to three-winding transformers, single-phase units and autotransformers
- Current transformer testing: ratio, knee-point determination using the CT Analyzer method (TPS, TPX, TPY and TPZ types), winding resistance, burden, and polarity using the CPOL3 hand-held checker
- Voltage transformer testing: ratio measurement at low voltage, plus high-voltage Ratio V testing up to 10 kV AC with the HVX10 for greater accuracy
- Circuit breaker commissioning: three main contact timing, three auxiliary contact timing, trip and close coil current, motor current via clamp, and static contact resistance up to 1000 A DC with the High Current Module
- Insulation diagnostics on bushings, grading capacitors and instrument transformers: capacitance, dissipation factor (tan delta) and insulation resistance with PI and DAR using the HVX10
- Condition assessment campaigns, paired with CORTEX Grid for asset-history tracking across fleets, supporting data-driven maintenance planning

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 CPX 200 for Hire Multifunctional Test Set
What is the Omicron CPX 200 used for?
The Omicron CPX 200 is a multifunctional test set for commissioning, maintenance and condition assessment of medium and high-voltage assets. It tests power transformers (TTR, winding resistance, demagnetisation, short-circuit impedance), instrument transformers (CT and VT ratio, knee-point, burden, polarity), and switchgear (timing, coil and motor current, static contact resistance, insulation diagnostics). With its modular Click and Play architecture, the CPX 200 replaces multiple individual instruments with a single ecosystem under 30 kg total weight.
How is the Omicron CPX 200 different from the CPC 100?
The CPX 200 is Omicron’s next-generation multifunctional test set, released in October 2025. Compared to the CPC 100, the CPX 200 introduces a true three-phase voltage source, an extended frequency range from 1 to 600 Hz plus DC, an integrated 9-inch multi-touch display with on-device CPX TouchControl, modular Click and Play accessories, and integration with the CORTEX Grid cloud platform. The CPC 100 remains preferred for some applications such as rotating-machine testing, ground-grid impedance work, and very high-power applications. The two platforms are complementary, and Megavar maintains both in its hire fleet.
What test currents and voltages does the Omicron CPX 200 deliver?
The CPX 200 main unit delivers AC and DC current and voltage across two outputs, with a frequency range of 1 to 600 Hz plus DC. With the optional High Current Module, primary injection currents up to 1000 A AC and DC are available. With the optional HVX10 system component, AC and DC test voltages up to 10 kV are available for ratio testing of voltage transformers and for insulation diagnostics. Both modules use Click and Play attachment to the CPX 200 main unit.
Can the Omicron CPX 200 test current transformers and voltage transformers?
Yes. The CPX 200 performs full instrument transformer testing including ratio measurement, ratio at high voltage (Ratio V) up to 10 kV with the HVX10, low-power instrument transformer ratio, knee-point determination using the same proven method as the Omicron CT Analyzer, winding resistance, burden measurement, and polarity verification using the CPOL3 hand-held polarity checker. The CPX 200 supports CT classifications including TPS, TPX, TPY and TPZ types.
Does the Omicron CPX 200 require a station battery for circuit breaker testing?
No. The CPX 200 has an integrated 125 V DC station-battery emulation, which means medium-voltage circuit breakers can be tested with the breaker fully separated and isolated from the station battery. This is a significant safety and workflow advantage on commissioning and maintenance jobs where the station DC system is unavailable, undergoing testing itself, or unsafe to use.
Can the Omicron CPX 200 perform tan delta and insulation resistance measurements?
Yes, when fitted with the HVX10 system component. The HVX10 provides a 10 kV AC/DC voltage source that enables capacitance and dissipation factor (tan delta or power factor) measurement, plus insulation resistance with Polarisation Index (PI) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR). Both measurement procedures can be performed in a single test setup, and the HVX10’s four current inputs allow up to four transformer bushings to be connected at the same time without rewiring between measurements.
Is CPXpert software included with the Omicron CPX 200 hire from Megavar?
The on-device CPX TouchControl software is included with every CPX 200 hire from Megavar, which means many transformer, instrument transformer and circuit breaker tests can be performed directly on the unit’s 9-inch touchscreen without a laptop. CPXpert PC software is required for advanced features such as guided test plans, automated reporting, multi-window analysis, and CORTEX Grid synchronisation. Customer to supply own laptop with Omicron CPXpert installed using your organisation’s licence. Test data from the on-device TouchControl can be transferred to CPXpert later via Ethernet or USB if needed.
What does the Omicron CPX 200 weigh and how is it transported?
The CPX 200 main unit weighs 10.6 kg. The optional High Current Module adds 3.3 kg. The optional HVX10 system component adds 14.8 kg. The complete system, with both modules attached, weighs under 30 kg, which is significantly lighter than the equivalent legacy testing setup. The CPX 200 ships in either a robust transport case (which doubles as a trolley and tabletop work surface) or as a set of lightweight backpack carry cases that can be combined when both modules are taken to site.
How long does it take to hire and receive a CPX 200 in Australia?
Megavar dispatches Omicron equipment from offices in Hobart, Launceston, Adelaide and Newcastle, with overnight delivery available to most major Australian centres. The CPX 200 is a high-demand item, particularly because it is a recently released product, so booking in advance is recommended. Contact Megavar on 1300 730 499 to check availability for your project window, confirm the configuration required (with or without High Current Module and HVX10), and arrange dispatch.
Can Megavar provide a CPX 200 operator or commissioning team rather than just the equipment?
Yes. In addition to equipment hire, Megavar provides full testing and commissioning services using the CPX 200, CPC 100, CMC 356, CIBANO 500 and the wider Omicron range. If your project requires a complete commissioning team rather than just equipment, contact us with your scope and we will quote a turnkey service. This is a common option for transformer factory acceptance support, BESS commissioning, and substation energisation campaigns.
