The HDE Quick Check® Transformer and Capacitor Tester is a portable diagnostic tool designed for linemen and utility crews to quickly verify the condition of de energized transformers and capacitors before they are placed into service. It identifies open circuits, short circuits, and normal conditions without disconnecting equipment, helping improve safety and reduce unnecessary equipment replacement.

An integrated automatic self test verifies the tester is operating properly before use, while the built in magnet securely holds the unit in place during testing.
