Short-Term Projects? Rent High Voltage Equipment Without the Long-Term Commitment
- By Emily Hagel
When it comes to high voltage testing, having the right equipment on hand is essential—but that doesn’t always mean you need to purchase it outright. For contractors, field technicians, and maintenance teams working on short-term projects, seasonal testing, or emergency repairs, renting a hipot tester can be a smarter, more cost-effective option.
At Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company, we offer rental access to two of the industry’s most trusted hipot test sets: the High Voltage Inc. (HVI) PTS-80 and the PTS-130. Whether you’re working on a medium-voltage substation or high-voltage cable installation, these portable, high-performance units are designed to deliver accurate and safe testing—right when you need it, and only for as long as you need it.
Why Rent Instead of Buy?
Renting high voltage test equipment offers multiple benefits for teams managing short-term or occasional testing needs:
Lower upfront cost – Avoid large capital expenditures for gear you won’t use regularly.
No maintenance responsibilities – All rented equipment is inspected, calibrated, and certified before it reaches your job site.
Flexibility – Scale your tools up or down depending on project requirements.
Speed – Avoid delays by having the equipment shipped directly when and where it’s needed.
Try before you buy – Renting allows you to test the equipment’s performance in the field before making a long-term investment.
PTS-80: Built for Medium-Voltage Testing
The PTS-80 is a lightweight, compact, and highly reliable DC hipot tester rated up to 80kV.
It’s ideal for:
Acceptance testing of new installations
Maintenance testing of switchgear, transformers, and cables
Field testing in tight or remote spaces
Its compact footprint and intuitive controls make it perfect for quick mobilization—great for contractors or in-house teams needing a dependable solution for periodic or emergency testing.
PTS-130: Go Higher When You Need More Power
For high-voltage applications, the HVI PTS-130 offers up to 130kV DC output, making it suitable for:
Long-length power cable testing
Utility-grade transformer and apparatus verification
Insulation resistance testing in large-scale industrial environments
Designed with rugged portability in mind, the PTS-130 is frequently rented for utility projects, scheduled shutdowns, and infrastructure upgrades that require temporary high-capacity testing.
High Voltage Testing Rentals Are Ideal For:
✅ Electrical contractors
✅ Utility maintenance crews
✅ Commissioning and acceptance testing teams
✅ Industrial shutdown projects
✅ Substation service companies
