testMET Company Profile:

TESTMET, Inc., was founded in 2005 in the state of Minnesota by American engineers, specialists in the field of electricity measurements. The purpose of this foundation was to design a range of modern portable electronic instruments for metrological verification of electricity meters and current transformers, meeting the requirements of the ANSI standards.
In 2006, the first portable instrument, Gold Miner, a three-phase CT tester, meter tester and circuit analyser, was developed and offered on the market. Compared with the then existing instruments, Gold Miner had the following advantages:

Automatic Burden and Turn Ratio testing of the three current transformers without need to move the current probes
Simultaneous accuracy testing of the entire measurement circuit
On-Board consultant
Modern software with MySQL database

Also in 2006, a joint activity began between TESTMET, Inc. and EMSYST-6 Ltd. EMSYST-6 Ltd. (www.emsyst.com) is a European based supplier with more than 15 years experience in the field of test equipment, focused on electricity and current transformer metering.
The strategic technical and manufacturing collaboration between the two companies led to innovative break-through in product development, significantly adding to the existing list of TESTMET product advantages. In TESTMET office, a modern laboratory was launched for calibration and testing of the offered instruments.
In 2007, the Silver Miner, a simplified and cheaper version of Gold Miner, appeared on the market, and by the end of the said year, Gold Miner Plus Load – an analyser, CT and meter tester with embedded load generator, came out of the development laboratories.
Ever since then, these instruments were continuously improved, and new functions added to their features. Below, the developed new features are presented by years:

2008:

Current generation on the primary of the current transformer
Automatic error measurement with load generation and predefined test plans
Software upgrade feature via Internet

2009:

A separate voltage generation unit controlled from GMPL
Demagnetisation of current transformers with load up to 8 Ohms

2010:

Full control of GMPL from a laptop PC via long distance BlueTooth
Improved demagnetization feature with load up to 50 Ohms for the three current transformers without moving the current probes

In 2008, TESTMET, Inc., was acquired by EMSYST-6 Ltd., whereby the Company’s name and phone number were kept, but the main office and the laboratories were moved to San Diego, California.
TESTMET has established a reputation of innovation with the many “first-to-market” features and benefits provided through our products to the market. U.S. utilities can expect further new product launches and continuous innovation from TESTMET.
