Your benefits

> Mobile: compact size and low weight


(< 15 kg / 33 lbs)
> Accurate: field calibration of VTs up to
the 0.1 accuracy class
> Fast: software-guided test procedure ensures
short testing time (< 20 min)
> Convenient: automatic result assessment as per
IEEE and IEC standards directly after the test
> Efficient: simulation and re-assessment
with changed VT parameters
> Safe: 4 kV maximum test voltage and
local isolation between high voltage and
measuring equipment
