Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
It performs Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) to detect mechanical faults in transformers, such as displaced windings, core movement, shorted turns, or damage from transport or internal faults.
It’s used on power transformers, instrument transformers, and shunt reactors—particularly before energisation or after events such as short circuits or transport.
The device applies a low-voltage, variable-frequency signal and measures how the transformer responds across a frequency range. Changes from baseline traces indicate mechanical or electrical anomalies.
Yes. It meets IEC 60076-18 and IEEE C57.149 standards for SFRA testing of transformers.
Yes. The software allows automatic trace comparison with previous tests to highlight even minor shifts in response curves.
The unit operates on rechargeable battery or mains power. It connects to a laptop via USB for control and data storage.
Yes. The unit is compact, lightweight, and supplied with a hard case, making it ideal for field testing.
The rental includes the Franalyzer unit, test leads and clamps, PC software, charger, user manual, and carry case. A laptop preloaded with software can be supplied on request.
Yes. We provide technical support including setup guidance, software assistance, and help interpreting SFRA traces.
Minimum hire is 3 days. Weekly and monthly rates are available at discounted pricing.
