Hire
Hire the Electrocorder EC-7VAR-RS 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-7VAR-RS for temporary logging work.
Use it when you need to understand how a three-phase electrical system behaves over time. The EC-7VAR-RS records phase voltages and phase currents using three flexible Rogowski coils and four voltage leads for L1, L2, L3 and neutral, then provides the data needed to analyse kW, kVAR, kVA, peak demand, power factor and highest and lowest voltage and current values with dates and times.
Good hire choice for:
- Three-phase load surveys, feeder loading checks and energy audits.
- Investigating voltage, current and power factor behaviour on industrial or commercial sites.
- Checking whether low voltage is related to high current demand on site.
- UPS sizing, standby generator sizing and temporary power studies.
Consider another hire model if:
- Simple single-phase appliance monitoring, where the AL-2VA or EC-2VA may be a better fit.
- Voltage-only investigations, where a three-phase voltage recorder such as the EC-3V may be sufficient.
- Current-only studies, where a CT-3A-RS or EC-3A-RS current logger may be simpler.
Hire kit includes:
- EC-7VAR-RS logger in the smaller 190 x 120 x 60 mm enclosure.
- Three flexible Rogowski current sensors suitable for fitting around conductors up to 140 mm diameter.
- Four fused 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-7VAR-RS is intended for three-phase investigations where voltage, current, power and power factor need to be understood together.
What the EC-7VAR-RS records:
- Three-phase voltages and phase currents.
- kW, kVAR, kVA, peak demand and power factor.
- Highest and lowest voltage and current values with dates and times.
- Long-term trend data for load surveys, energy audits and fault investigations.
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 logger is designed to be installed by a competent person, generally an electrician or engineer. If suitable isolated test points are available, it can often be fitted without interrupting the supply.
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-7VAR-RS
Choose this model when the investigation needs a full three-phase picture rather than voltage-only or current-only data.
Compare with related hire models
If only current is needed, consider CT-3A-RS or EC-3A-RS. If only voltage is needed, consider EC-3V. If the job is single-phase, consider EC-2VA, CT-2VA or AL-2VA depending on the installation.
Key features:
- Records voltage, current, power, energy and power factor together.
- Three flexible Rogowski coils for practical fitting around larger conductors.
- Four fused voltage leads for L1, L2, L3 and neutral.
- Useful for energy audits, load surveys, fault finding and temporary power studies.
- Constant sampling to reduce the risk of missing short-duration or changing load events.
Measurement note
The EC-7VAR-RS is a three-phase power logger. It should be installed by a competent person where voltage leads and current sensors are being connected.

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 hire the EC-7VAR-RS?
Hire it when you need a temporary three-phase logger for voltage, current, power, energy and power factor analysis.
Is it suitable for energy audits?
Yes. It is one of the best rental choices for three-phase energy audits and load surveys.
Does it measure all three phase voltages and currents?
Yes. It uses three flexible current sensors and four voltage leads for L1, L2, L3 and neutral.
