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.

The BK130 is used for AC dielectric withstand (hipot) testing, applying high voltage to confirm the insulation strength of electrical components such as cables, switchgear, and transformers.
It can deliver up to 130,000 volts AC at a maximum current of 10 mA, suitable for testing high-voltage installations and components
It is ideal for power cables, transformers, switchgear, motors, rotating machines, bushings, insulators, and GIS assemblies.
Yes. It is suitable for withstand testing in accordance with IEC 60060, IEEE 4, IEEE C57.12.90, and other insulation testing standards.
Yes. It features a two-piece design with a grounded control unit separate from the HV tank, plus safety features like overload protection, HV-on indicators, and interlocks.
The rental includes the BK130 high-voltage tank, control unit, interconnecting cables, HV output cable, earth lead, and transport/storage case.
Yes. We provide remote support for setup, operation, and test procedure guidance throughout your hire period.
The minimum rental period is 3 days. We offer discounted weekly and monthly hire rates for longer projects.
Yes. We provide nationwide delivery and pickup. You may also arrange your own freight if preferred.
A security deposit may apply. For high-voltage test sets like this, we may request proof of business insurance. All conditions are provided in your quote.
