Battery Testers

The Cuthbertson Laird Group makes available a range of high-quality battery testers for fault detection and the measurement of capacity and health status. One of our favourite pieces of equipment is the Hioki 3554 Battery Hi-Tester for assessing the health of valve-regulated and flooded lead acid battery. This innovative device can store up 400 sets of data, which in turn can be transmitted via USB interface onto a PC based application. The Hioki 3554 has a continuous operating time of up to 10 hours. To view our full range of battery testers, simply follow the link to our website!

Portable Appliance Testers

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is an essential part of any health and safety policy, whether in an office, retail environment, warehouse, manufacturing plant or power station. The Cuthbertson Laird Group supplies a range of Portable Appliance Testers from established manufacturers such as Fluke, Kewtech, Martindale, Megger, Robin and Seaward. Each and every model has been designed to be extremely reliable and easy to use. Most of the Portable Appliance Testers we supply come complete as a kit in a robust carry case.

Thermal Imagers

Thermal Imaging is one of the fastest, most effective ways of detecting cracks, fractures and leaks before they become visible to the naked eye. Predictive maintenance with the help of thermal imaging cameras is the best way to prevent costly faults and failures down the line. We have a number of easy to use models that are suitable for thermal imaging newcomers, as well as a range of high-spec devices for experienced users. The thermal imaging products we supply are manufactured by industry specialists such as FLIR, Fluke, Testo and Hawk. If you would like to find out more about the benefits of thermal imaging, follow the link to the Cuthbertson Laird Group website!

Live Line Testers

Also known as Live Line Hotsticks or High Voltage Insulating Poles, Live Line Testers are unique pieces of equipment used for detecting the presence of high voltages and carrying out phasing tests on distribution switchgear and overhead lines. One of our best-sellers is the Metrohm Live Line Tester 11 – LLT11. This self powered unit is designed for both indoor and outdoor positive phasing testing and high voltage measurement. A high immunity to interference fields improves the accuracy of tests. DC versions are available if required, while optional accessories come in the form of carry bags, repeater units, and Bowthorpe rod adaptors.

High Voltage Test Instruments

In this category we have high voltage insulation testers from Chauvin Arnoux, Edgcumbe, Fluke and Megger, relay and circuit breaker test sets from Programma, SMC and T&R, AC and DC test sets from Seba and T&R, current injection test sets from Programma and Megger, flash testers from Clare, Kikusui and Metrohm, oil test sets from Megger and Karl Fischer, as well as high voltage testers and battery testers as described above. For more information on any of these products, please head to the Cuthbertson Laird website.
