Protection Relay Testing Equipment for Hire
Introduction
Unlike pure rental companies, Megavar’s commissioning engineers use every piece of equipment we hire out. That means you get genuine technical support from people who understand relay testing workflows, not just equipment specifications. We can advise on the right test set for your project, provide pre-configured test plans, and offer on-site commissioning support if needed.
All relay test sets are supplied fully calibrated, with current calibration certificates, test leads, and accessories included. Hire periods are flexible — from single-day hires for commissioning checks through to long-term project rentals. We deliver Australia-wide from our depots in Tasmania, South Australia, New South Wales, and the ACT.
Why Hire Relay Test Equipment from Megavar?
Megavar is not just an equipment rental company — we are a specialist high-voltage testing and commissioning firm with over 20 years of experience. When you hire relay test equipment from us, you benefit from technical guidance from engineers who commission protection systems for Australia’s transmission and distribution networks every day. We maintain our fleet to the highest standards, with regular calibration and thorough pre-dispatch checks, so the equipment arrives ready to test.
Our team can also provide on-site commissioning support, protection relay testing services, and test plan development if you need more than just the equipment. With offices across Australia, we offer fast turnaround and competitive hire rates for both short-term and long-term rentals.
Check the ABB / Hitachi Energy CB-2000 capacitance meter is available alongside the relay fleet.

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.
