Transformer Test Equipment for Hire
Introduction
Transformer testing is fundamental to substation commissioning and condition-based maintenance programs. Megavar’s engineers perform transformer diagnostics on assets ranging from small distribution transformers to large power transformers on 275kV and 500kV transmission networks. When you hire transformer test equipment from Megavar, you get access to that practical expertise — from selecting the right tests for your maintenance objectives to interpreting results that inform asset management decisions.
All equipment is supplied calibrated, with test leads and accessories, and ready for immediate use on site. Flexible hire periods and Australia-wide delivery are available.
Why Hire Transformer Test Equipment from Megavar?
Megavar is a specialist HV engineering firm, not a generic rental desk. Our commissioning engineers use this equipment every day on power transformer assessments across the National Electricity Market, from FAT and SAT through to condition-based maintenance on transmission and distribution networks. When you hire transformer test equipment from us, you get more than the gear in a case. You get access to engineers who can advise on test plan selection, software setup, result interpretation, and compliance against IEC 60076, IEC 61869, and individual asset owner standards.
All units are supplied with current calibration certificates, complete accessory kits, and the relevant software dongles and licences. We carry multiple units of high-demand instruments and dispatch from our offices in Hobart, Launceston, Adelaide, and Newcastle for fast delivery anywhere in Australia.

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.
