Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
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.

It is used for AC dielectric withstand testing (hipot) to verify the insulation strength of electrical equipment by applying high voltage for a specified duration and checking for breakdown.
It can output up to 50 kV AC at a maximum of 60 mA, which is suitable for a wide range of MV/HV insulation systems.
Yes. It is suitable for withstand testing in accordance with standards like IEC 60060, IEEE 4, and ANSI/NETA ATS.
It’s ideal for high-voltage power cables, motors, switchgear, transformers, rotating machines, insulators, and bushings.
Yes. It is field-portable with a rugged design and consists of two components: the control unit and the high-voltage tank.
It operates on standard single-phase mains power (typically 120V or 240V depending on model configuration). Check the datasheet or request assistance for your site voltage.
The 6CP50 includes zero-start interlock, overload protection, HV-on indicators, and a grounded control section for operator safety.
The rental includes the HV tank, control unit, HV output cable, ground cable, interconnect cable, and carry case. Test leads and accessories can be included as required.
Yes. We offer assistance with setup, operation, and interpreting test procedures throughout the rental period.
The standard minimum hire is 3 days, with weekly and monthly discounts available.
Submit your rental request online, and our team will respond promptly with availability, pricing, and expert advice.
Once confirmed, we’ll quickly process your booking and dispatch the equipment. Delivery and collection can be arranged to suit your schedule.
