Yes. Every instrument in our hire fleet undergoes rigorous pre-dispatch inspection and is supplied with a current, traceable calibration certificate, along with all required test leads, clamps, and transit cases.
Q3: What rental durations are available for electrical test equipment hire?
Answer:
We offer flexible daily, weekly, monthly, and long-term project hire rates, as well as rent-to-own arrangements where a portion of rental fees can be credited toward purchasing the instrument (subject to approval).
Q4: Who conducts your BAUR, Chroma, and Hioki training courses?
Answer:
All courses are delivered by our senior application engineers who have been directly factory-trained at the manufacturers’ headquarters—including BAUR in Austria, Hioki in Japan, and Chroma in Taiwan.
Q5: Do I need a BAUR VLF generator to hire the PD-TaD 62 Partial Discharge tester?
Answer:
Yes, the BAUR PD-TaD 62 portable partial discharge diagnostics system requires a compatible BAUR VLF high-voltage source (such as the BAUR frida TD or viola TD) to perform monitored withstand and PD testing. Both can be hired together as a complete diagnostics kit.
