Hitachi Energy CB 2000 Capacitance Meter. Hire from Megavar for precise capacitance and power factor measurements on HV power system equipment in Australia.
Description
The Hitachi Energy CB-2000 is a compact, lightweight capacitance meter designed for fast, accurate testing of individual capacitors and large capacitor banks. Its portable design and battery operation mean no mains connection is required, making it ideal for fieldwork and on-site diagnostics. The CB-2000 provides clear, readable measurement results via its high-contrast LCD display—easily visible in both bright daylight and low-light environments. Measurements can be stored, transferred to a PC for analysis, and even reloaded into the meter for comparison during future testing. The system comes complete with the required software and drivers for easy data handling and long-term test tracking.
  • Measures capacitance from 0 to 1000 μF
  • High measurement accuracy of ±1.0%
  • Supports total load measurements up to 2000 μF
  • Test voltage range of 1.1 to 1.4 VAC peak-to-peak, frequency 40–160 Hz
  • Battery-powered with over 8 hours of operating time
  • Bright LCD display visible in daylight or dark environments
  • Compact dimensions: 270 × 190 × 60 mm
  • Lightweight: 2.4 kg (device), 7.9 kg total with case and accessories
  • Casing dimensions: 500 × 420 × 230 mm
  • USB interface for data export and import
  • Supplied with USB cable, software, and all necessary accessories

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
ABB / Hitachi Energy CB-2000 Capacitance Meter

What the CB-2000 is used for?

The CB-2000 is a compact capacitance meter from ABB / Hitachi Energy built for fast, accurate measurement of individual capacitor units and large capacitor banks. Measuring each unit’s capacitance identifies failed or drifting elements without dismantling the bank, which makes it the standard tool for capacitor bank condition assessment on filter banks, shunt capacitor banks and similar installations.

Typical hire scenarios: routine capacitor bank maintenance programmes, post-fault investigation after a fuse operation or unbalance alarm, and commissioning checks on new banks. Both CB 2000 and CB-2000 spellings refer to this instrument.

No. The CB-2000 is fully battery operated and offers more than 8 hours of continuous use, ideal for use in the field.

Yes. The unit is capable of measuring up to 1000 μF per test and can handle a maximum total load of 2000 μF, without the need to isolate individual capacitors.

All readings are shown on a backlit LCD display, which is easy to read in both bright and low-light environments.

Yes. The device includes a USB cable and software, allowing you to transfer results for storage, analysis or comparison.

Yes. Stored test data from a PC can be re-imported into the CB-2000 for on-site comparison during future tests.

The package includes the CB-2000 meter, transport case, USB cable, necessary software, and all standard accessories needed to begin testing.

Yes. The unit is compact, durable, and specifically designed for field conditions where portability and fast setup are essential.

The CB-2000 offers a measurement accuracy of ±1.0%, suitable for precise condition assessments of power capacitors.
