Trustworthy Relay Protection Testing Equipment: Hire & Calibration Solutions

In Australia’s demanding power sector, keeping electrical networks safe and reliable is everything. At Electrical Testing and Calibration Services (ETACS), we know your protection systems are what stand between a small fault and a major outage. Whether you’re running a substation, a mine site, or an industrial facility, you need accurate equipment you can rely on.

Why Hire Relay Protection Testing Equipment?

Buying top-end secondary injection test kits outright can be a big capital outlay. For many contractors and asset managers, hiring and calibrating relay protection testing equipment is a smarter, more flexible option. It gives you access to the latest technology from brands like Omicron, Fluke, and Megger—without the ongoing costs of maintenance or losing value over time.

Our hire fleet covers a broad range of job s, including:

  • Secondary Injection Testing: Checking the settings and logic of digital and electromechanical relays.
  • Primary Injection Testing: Making sure the full protection circuit—CTs, wiring, and all—is working right.
  • IEC 61850 Testing: Specialised tools for today’s digital substation systems.

The ETACS Edge: Precision You Can Count On

Reliability isn’t just about the equipment—it’s about trusting your test results. That’s why calibration is central to what we do. Every item we hire out is put through a thorough check and verification process before it leaves our workshop.

Given Australia’s tough conditions, even the best equipment can drift out of spec. When you work with ETACS, you’re backed by a team that sticks to NIST-traceable standards. We make sure every kit is site-ready, so you can cut downtime and stay compliant with Australian Standards (like AS/NZS 3000 and the NER).

Backing Australian Industry

From the mine sites to renewable energy sites, we offer logistics support, so your equipment turns up on time and in perfect condition. We’re more than just a hire company—we give you technical know-how too. If your crew is tackling a tricky commissioning job, our experts can advise on the right modules or software settings for your specific relays.

The dynamic nature of site commissioning often leads to unexpected requirements for specialised hardware during a shutdown or upgrade. Our relay protection testing equipment hire and calibration solutions are designed to scale with your project’s demands, whether you are optimising a remote wind farm or upgrading a metropolitan substation. We provide the technical assurance that your testing results are beyond reproach, giving your team the confidence to focus on critical tasks while we handle the precision and reliability of your testing platform.

Compliance and Operational Safety

Bringing together equipment hire and calibration into your workflow helps you meet strict insurance and safety audits. Remember: a protection relay is only as reliable as its last test. Using properly calibrated equipment means trip times and pick-up values are spot on—so your high-value assets stay protected.

Maintaining a rigorous maintenance schedule is vital for any high-voltage environment to ensure the longevity of your infrastructure. By utilising our relay protection testing equipment hire and calibration services, you can streamline your compliance workflow and meet the strict safety protocols set by the Australian Energy Regulator. This integrated approach ensures that every secondary injection set or CT analyser is ready for immediate deployment, eliminating the logistical burden of managing separate vendors and ensuring your site always remains audit ready.
