Hire
Hire the Electrocorder EC-3V by the week.
For one week hire, enter quantity 1. For two weeks, enter quantity 2. For three weeks, enter quantity 3, and so on.
How hire periods are counted:
- 1 week hire gives 9 days in total: the hire clock starts the day after delivery, allows 7 days of logging, and includes one extra day to return the logger.
- 2 week hire gives 16 days in total: the hire clock starts the day after delivery, allows 14 days of logging, and includes one extra day to return the logger.
- 3 week hire gives 23 days in total: the hire clock starts the day after delivery, allows 21 days of logging, and includes one extra day to return the logger.
- Part weeks are rounded up to the next whole week.
You are responsible for returning the logger to us after the hire period has finished, using your own courier.
Overview
Hire the Electrocorder EC-3V for temporary logging work.
Use it when you need to understand how a single-phase or three-phase voltage supply behaves over time. The EC-3V can record one, two or three phases using four voltage leads for L1, L2, L3 and neutral, helping identify voltage variation, high or low voltage events, and supply trends.
Good hire choice for:
- Three-phase voltage monitoring and supply-voltage investigations.
- Voltage optimisation checks before and after changes.
- Investigating machines tripping, resetting or behaving unpredictably.
- Long-term monitoring where voltage variation needs evidence.
Consider another hire model if:
- You need voltage and current together, where the EC-7VAR-RS may be a better fit.
- You need a smaller compact three-phase voltage recorder, where the SL-3V may be sufficient.
- You only need single-phase plug-in voltage monitoring, where an EC-1V or EC-2V may be simpler.
Hire kit includes:
- EC-3V logger in the smaller 190 x 120 x 60 mm enclosure.
- Four voltage leads for L1, L2, L3 and neutral.
- USB download lead, carry case, batteries, user instructions and free Electrosoft analysis software.
Applications
Typical hire applications: The EC-3V is intended for voltage-only investigations where the question is whether the supply voltage is too high, too low, unstable, unbalanced or changing over time.
What the EC-3V records:
- One, two or three phase voltages.
- TRMS average, minimum and maximum values across the selected averaging period.
- Voltage trends, dips, rises and supply variation over time.
- Date and time information for recorded voltage events.
Why constant sampling matters: the Electrocorder samples throughout the averaging period, helping capture short events, changing loads and trend data that can be missed by periodic snapshots.
The EC-3V is built into a rugged 190 x 120 x 60 mm enclosure and supplied with fused voltage leads, USB lead, carry case and batteries. It should be installed by a competent person, generally an electrician or engineer.
After logging, connect the logger to a PC by USB and use Electrosoft to view, save, export and report on the results.

Free Electrosoft PC software
Electrosoft is compatible with Windows 11 down to Windows 7. It lets you view and zoom current, power and energy graphs, export data to Microsoft Excel, email results to colleagues, and print or save reports as PDF files with your company logo.
Electrosoft includes statistics, load balancing, tariff and costing analysis, annual CO2 and energy usage projections, logger management and calibration management tools. Sample files are included so you can try the software without having a logger connected.

Features
When to hire the EC-3V
Choose this model when you need a dedicated three-phase voltage recorder and do not need current, power or power-factor data.
Compare with related hire models
If you need a smaller three-phase voltage recorder, consider the SL-3V. If you need voltage, current, power and power factor together, consider the EC-7VAR-RS. For simple single-phase plug-in monitoring, consider the EC-1V or EC-2V.
Key features:
- Records one, two or three phases using four voltage leads.
- Designed for voltage quality, supply variation and voltage optimisation studies.
- Configurable averaging period for short investigations or longer-term monitoring.
- Constant sampling to reduce the risk of missing short-duration voltage events.
- Tamper-resistant setup after configuration in Electrosoft.
- Suitable for supply-voltage checks, high/low voltage investigations and machine reset/tripping enquiries.
Measurement note
The EC-3V is a voltage recorder. It does not measure current, power or power factor. Use a power logger such as the EC-7VAR-RS when those relationships matter.

To specify your Electrocorder select various codes and enter into the boxes in order to create an accurate product code. For example: EC-3V-5H-IEC-IP43-SET.
FAQ
How do I choose the hire length?
Use the product quantity as the number of whole weeks required. Part weeks are rounded up to the next whole week.
When does the hire clock start?
The hire clock starts the day after delivery and includes one extra day after the logging period for return.
Who returns the logger?
You are responsible for returning the logger to us after the hire period using your own courier.
When should I choose the EC-3V?
Choose it when you need to record one, two or three phase voltages over time and do not need current or power-factor data.
Can it record a single phase?
Yes. The EC-3V can record one, two or three phases depending on how it is connected.
What is the difference between EC-3V and SL-3V?
Both are three-phase voltage recorders. The SL-3V is a smaller compact model, while the EC-3V is the larger standard model.
