Equipment Hire

Electrical Test Equipment Hire

We at Power Engineering Services provide a wide range of HV and LV electrical testing equipment.

See our full Equipment List here.

In the electrical contracting, engineering, and industrial maintenance industries, accuracy is essential. From testing switchboards and transformers to verifying complex electrical systems, reliable test equipment plays a critical role in maintaining safety, meeting compliance standards, and ensuring operational efficiency.

Purchasing specialised electrical testing instruments outright can be expensive, particularly when technology evolves quickly and equipment requires ongoing calibration and maintenance. That’s why many Australian businesses are turning to electrical test equipment hire as a practical and cost-effective alternative.

Why Choose Electrical Test Equipment Hire?

Owning a complete range of high-end electrical testing equipment comes with significant costs beyond the initial purchase price. Hiring provides several important advantages:

Access to the Latest Technology
Electrical testing equipment continues to advance with improved accuracy, enhanced reporting capabilities, and more user-friendly interfaces. Hiring allows businesses to use the latest equipment without worrying about technology becoming outdated.

Lower Operating Costs
When you own testing equipment, you’re responsible for calibration, servicing, repairs, storage, insurance, and depreciation. Hiring transfers these responsibilities to the equipment provider, allowing you to pay only for the equipment when it’s needed.

Flexibility for Every Project
Every project has different testing requirements. One job may only require an insulation tester, while another demands sophisticated power quality analysers or primary injection test sets. Hiring gives you the flexibility to select the right equipment for each project without investing in tools that may only be used occasionally.

Supporting Western Australia's Industrial Sector

Western Australia’s economy is driven by mining, energy, construction, and major infrastructure projects, all of which demand dependable, high-quality testing equipment.

For contractors seeking electrical test equipment in Perth, working with a local hire company offers significant advantages. Equipment can be dispatched quickly, reducing downtime and avoiding interstate freight delays. Local suppliers also understand the unique demands of Western Power, Horizon Power, and mining site compliance requirements.

Whether commissioning renewable energy installations in Pilbara or conducting scheduled maintenance on commercial buildings in Perth, having fast access to calibrated testing equipment helps keep projects on schedule while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Commonly Hired Electrical Test Equipment

Professional hire companies offer a broad range of specialised instruments suitable for installation, commissioning, maintenance, and fault finding.

Insulation and Earth Testers
These instruments verify cable insulation integrity and confirm that grounding systems can safely carry fault currents. High-voltage insulation testers are commonly used for industrial and utility applications.

Power Quality Analysers
Modern electrical systems increasingly rely on sensitive electronic equipment and renewable energy sources. Power quality analysers monitor voltage fluctuations, harmonics, transients, and other disturbances that can affect system performance.

Primary and Secondary Injection Test Sets
Essential for substation commissioning and maintenance, these systems verify the operation of protection relays, circuit breakers, and associated protection equipment to ensure reliable performance during fault conditions.

Thermal Imaging Cameras
Thermal imaging provides a fast, non-contact method of identifying overheating components, loose electrical connections, overloaded circuits, and other developing faults before they become costly failures.

Meeting Australian Compliance Standards

Electrical testing throughout Australia must comply with strict standards, including AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) and AS/NZS 3760. Using poorly maintained or uncalibrated equipment can produce inaccurate results, potentially create safety risks and expose businesses to legal liability.

Reputable hire companies supply equipment that has been professionally maintained and calibrated, complete with current NATA-traceable calibration certificates. This provides confidence that test results are accurate, reliable, and suitable for audits and compliance documentation.

Choosing the Right Equipment Hire Provider

The best hire companies do more than simply supply equipment. They offer technical expertise to help you choose the right instruments for your application, provide complete testing kits for faster deployment, and offer ongoing technical support if questions arise in the field.

Selecting an experienced equipment hire partner ensures your technicians have reliable, fully calibrated tools backed by knowledgeable support whenever it’s needed.

Our electrical testing is performed by qualified technicians. We have over 40 years of experience in this industry, and we have had many clients over the years who have asked us to carry out their electrical testing. Whether you need test equipment or an experienced electrician, PES is here to help.
