Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
It detects and locates partial discharge activity in live, energised electrical equipment, helping you assess insulation condition without taking equipment offline.
• TEV (Transient Earth Voltage) signals for internal PD
• Ultrasonic signals for surface discharge, such as tracking or corona
It’s suitable for MV/HV metal-clad switchgear, transformers, cable joints and terminations, ring main units (RMUs), and GIS panels.
No. The Ultratev Plus² performs online testing, so no isolation or shutdown is needed, making it ideal for operational substations and industrial environments.
Yes. It provides pass/fail alerts, dB readings, and waveform views. You can also compare results to historical readings for trend analysis.
Yes. It features internal memory and USB export, allowing users to generate reports or upload results to asset management systems.
• Ultratev Plus² main unit
• TEV probe, contact ultrasonic sensor, and flexible airborne sensor
• Headphones for live acoustic detection
• Charger, USB cable, and carry case
• Quick start guide and application notes
