Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
It tests the functionality of Merlin Gerin VIP relays by simulating overcurrent, earth fault, and fault-current conditions to confirm relay operation and trip logic.
It is specifically designed for Merlin Gerin VIP relays such as the VIP35, VIP300, and VIP400 series used in medium-voltage switchgear.
No. The unit simulates trip signals and conditions rather than injecting high test currents, making it safer and simpler to use for logic verification.
You can test relay pickup thresholds, time delays, and trip outputs without energising the circuit breaker or the primary circuit.
Yes. The unit is compact, lightweight, and ideal for field testing in substations, switchrooms, and industrial plants.
Yes. It features a simple rotary knob and LED status indicators, making it easy to simulate fault conditions and observe relay responses.
The rental includes the VAP6 VIP tester, test leads, power cable, quick-start instructions, and a protective carry case.
Yes. We offer technical support to guide you through setup and relay testing, especially if you’re unfamiliar with VIP relay configurations.
