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 CU1 allows tan delta and power factor testing on grounded equipment such as motors, generators, and bushings by providing galvanic isolation between the high-voltage injection and measurement circuits.
The CP CU1 is a coupling unit accessory for the Omicron CPC 100. The CPC 100 plus CP CU1 platform measures line impedances, ground impedances on large earth grids, step and touch voltages, and mutual coupling between parallel lines. It is not a tan delta accessory; tan delta on the CPC platform is the role of the CP TD1.
No. The CP CU1 is a coupling unit and requires the Omicron CPC 100 main unit to generate the test signal. Megavar supplies the CP CU1 only as part of a combined CPC 100 hire package.
Earth grid testing with the CP CU1 is referenced to ENA EG-1 (Power System Earthing Guide), AS/NZS 3000, EN 50522, and IEEE 81. Line impedance measurements support distance protection setting calculations under typical utility protection design standards. The variable test frequency complies with the rejection-band requirements of EN 50522 for mains-frequency interference.
Yes. The unit is compact and field-ready. It integrates easily into the CPC 100 testing workflow and is recognised automatically by PTM software.
Yes. With the CPC 100 injecting current into the earth grid, the CP CU1 measures the voltage between the test point and a reference probe at one metre separation, which is the definition of step and touch voltage in earthing standards. The system applies a variable test frequency to reject mains interference, so the measured voltage is the result of the injected test current rather than ambient leakage.
Yes. We provide full remote support including configuration advice, test setup assistance, and help interpreting results.
The CP GB1 is a safety accessory supplied with the CP CU1. It provides controlled earthing and short-circuiting of the test setup so the operator can connect, disconnect, or move the test leads safely between measurement points. The CP GB1 is included with every Megavar CP CU1 hire.
Yes. We offer bundled hire options for insulation diagnostics with CPC 100, CP TD1, and CU1, ensuring full test coverage and value.
Yes. We offer delivery and pickup services across Australia, or you can arrange your own transport.
