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 measures insulation resistance at high voltages, identifying issues like moisture, insulation breakdown, or contamination in electrical systems.
It’s ideal for testing motors, generators, switchgear, transformers, and cables in the 3.3 kV to 11 kV range, commonly used in industrial and utility environments.
The unit can measure resistance up to 10 teraohms (TΩ), providing high accuracy across a wide range of conditions.
It supports standard insulation resistance tests, as well as diagnostic methods like PI, DAR, and Step Voltage to assess insulation ageing and moisture content.
Yes. Results can be stored in the internal memory and exported via USB to a PC for reporting or recordkeeping.
Yes. It’s compact, battery-operated, and comes in a rugged case, making it ideal for field and site use.
Your rental includes the MIT 5kV tester, high-voltage test leads, charger, quick-start guide, and a protective carry case.
