OUR TOP 3 PROVEN PRODUCTS FOR RENEWABLES ENERGY TESTING
As Australia’s renewable energy sector continues to grow, the demand for reliable testing equipment has never been greater. From solar farms and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to wind farms and supporting substations, every asset must be thoroughly tested before it can be safely energised and connected to the grid.
At Brandis Hire, we’ve supported renewable energy projects across Australia with specialist testing equipment designed to deliver accurate results and keep projects moving. While every project has unique requirements, there are certain pieces of equipment that consistently stand out for their reliability, versatility, and performance in the field.
That’s why the OMICRON CPC 100 PTM, OMICRON CT Analyser, and HVA 45 TD are all part of our Proven Products range.

When it comes to renewable energy testing, these three products are among our top picks.
OMICRON CPC 100 PTM
The OMICRON CPC 100 PTM is one of the most versatile testing systems available for renewable energy projects.
Combining the powerful CPC 100 test system with the Primary Test Manager (PTM) software package, it allows engineers to perform a wide range of primary testing applications using a single piece of equipment.
The CPC 100 PTM is commonly used for:
- Power transformer testing
- Current transformer (CT) testing
- Voltage transformer (VT) testing
- Grounding system measurements
- Circuit breaker testing
- Substation commissioning
For renewable energy projects, transformers are critical assets that connect generation equipment to the network. The CPC 100 PTM provides comprehensive testing capabilities that help verify performance before energisation while reducing the need to transport multiple pieces of equipment to site.
Its versatility and proven field performance make it a standout member of our Proven Products range.
OMICRON CT Analyser
Current transformers play a vital role in protection and metering systems throughout renewable energy installations. Ensuring they operate correctly is essential for both safety and system reliability.
The OMICRON CT Analyser is designed specifically for fast and accurate current transformer testing, making it a valuable tool during both commissioning and maintenance activities.
Common applications include:
- CT ratio testing
- Polarity verification
- Excitation testing
- Burden measurements
- Accuracy assessments
- Protection and metering CT verification
Renewable energy projects often involve large numbers of current transformers across substations and switchgear. The CT Analyser helps engineers complete testing efficiently while maintaining confidence in the results.
Its portability, ease of use, and proven accuracy have made it one of the most frequently hired products in our range.
HVA 45 TD
Cable systems form the backbone of renewable energy infrastructure, connecting generation assets to substations and ultimately the grid.
The HVA 45 TD combines VLF cable testing with tan delta diagnostics, providing valuable insight into cable condition and insulation health.
Typical applications include:
- Solar farm cable commissioning
- Wind farm cable testing
- BESS infrastructure testing
- Acceptance testing of newly installed cables
- Preventative maintenance programs
By identifying insulation deterioration and potential issues before failure occurs, the HVA 45 TD helps project teams improve reliability and reduce the risk of costly downtime.
Its portability and capability make it particularly well suited to large renewable energy sites where equipment may need to be moved between multiple testing locations.
For many commissioning teams, the HVA 45 TD has become a go-to solution for medium-voltage cable testing.
Why These Products Matter for Renewable Energy Projects
Renewable energy projects rely on a wide range of critical assets working together. Transformers, protection systems, and cable networks must all be tested thoroughly to ensure safe and reliable operation.
The OMICRON CPC 100 PTM, OMICRON CT Analyser, and HVA 45 TD each address a key part of that testing process:
- The CPC 100 PTM supports comprehensive transformer and primary system testing.
- The CT Analyser verifies the performance of current transformers and protection systems.
- The HVA 45 TD assesses the condition of cable networks before they enter service.
Together, they provide a powerful combination of testing capabilities that help renewable energy projects move from construction to operation with confidence.
