Capacitance and Tan Delta (Dissipation Factor) Measurement System

  • High-voltage AC injection up to 12 kV RMS for field and lab insulation testing.
  • Measure tan delta / power factor and capacitance with high accuracy (tan delta ±0.005%, capacitance ±0.05%).
  • Dielectric Frequency Response (NB DFR) sweep 1–500 Hz for deeper insulation assessment beyond line-frequency DF.
  • Modular device architecture, allowing flexible configuration and easy maintenance.
  • Web-based software with Wi‑Fi support for fast test setup, guided wiring diagrams, and report-ready results.

Stand-Alone Testing Device Designed for Quick Setup and Immediate Dielectric Health Assessment.

CAPTAN 12

All you need for on site high voltage insulation testing

Test HV insulation with confidence—on site

CAPTAN 12 supports classic line-frequency (50 or 60 Hz) dissipation factor testing and frequency-sweep diagnostics (1–500 Hz) to evaluate insulation condition on high-voltage equipment.

Built on a modular hardware architecture

CAPTAN 12 is designed for quick servicing and long-term maintainability. Individual modules can be replaced independently, reducing downtime and simplifying repairs. This approach also makes upgrades more practical as your testing needs evolve.

simple wiring with CAPTAN12

CAPTAN 12 is designed with a simple, intuitive wiring concept, providing clearly defined connection points for high-voltage output, measuring inputs, and safety ground. Built-in circuit verification checks confirm correct connections before voltage is applied, helping prevent wiring errors. This streamlined setup significantly reduces preparation time, minimizes the risk of miswiring, and makes operator training easier.
