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 the opening and closing times of a circuit breaker’s main contacts, bounce times, reclosing intervals, and auxiliary contact performance (such as 52a and 52b sequences).
Yes. It supports both single-pole and three-pole timing. You can test all three poles simultaneously or independently, depending on breaker configuration.
Yes. With optional coil current clamps and modules, the TM1600 can capture trip and close coil current profiles, useful for diagnostic analysis.
No. Unlike CIBANO 500, the TM1600 typically requires at least one side of the breaker to be isolated from ground for accurate timing.
Motion analysis is supported via additional transducer modules and accessories (not always included as standard). Please enquire if travel testing is required.
Most TM1600 units include either an onboard display or legacy PC connection. For advanced reporting, external software options may be provided (based on your rental configuration).
• TM1600 base unit
• Timing cables and test leads
• Coil control leads and contact sense inputs
• Carry case and printed operation manual
• (Optional) coil current probes, motion sensors (by request)
Yes. We offer remote support for system setup, connection diagrams, test interpretation, and best practices for safe operation.
The minimum hire period is 3 days, with weekly and monthly discounts available for longer projects.
Yes. We offer door-to-door delivery across Australia or can coordinate with your preferred freight provider.
