HV Power has a solid reputation for providing comprehensive technical and practical support to our customers.

Founded in 1994, HV Power Measurements and Protection Limited (trading as HV Power) is a privately held technology company providing superior products and hands-on support to power utility companies, their engineering consultants and contractors. It has grown to over 50 employees with offices in Auckland and Wellington and staff also working in other locations such as Melbourne and Brisbane.

Our range of intelligent electronic devices includes:

  • protective relaying
  • substation automation
  • transformer tap changer
  • temperature controls.

We're also involved in:

  • time sychronisation
  • power quality monitoring
  • electrical metering products
  • transformer DGA monitoring
  • providing primary and secondary medium-voltage distribution equipment (such as circuit breakers and ring main units).

The HV Power team has many years of industry experience and knowledge of how to apply the various technologies and products we supply. For example, we provided the first IEC 61850-based substation automation systems in Australasia in early 2005. More recently, we've worked with customers using cellular technology for remote control of ring main units. Our people often work with utilities to develop network standards and commissioning training to roll out the new technologies.

We pride ourselves on fully understanding the applications, product specifications, settings and operation of all our products. Our team at HV Power won't sell a product until we are confident that it does what it claims, and that we can fully support it - locally.

Nichecom (2026) Limited

With the retirement of the last of Nichecoms first generation of managers, HV Power have formed Nichecom (2026) Limited to take over the Wellington Nichecom business. Nichecom includes an ISO accredited calibration laboratory already used by many power utility customers, plus an equipment repair facility. 

Nichecom are also the New Zealand distributors for Microchip products, while HV Power are the New Zealand distributors for Microchip’s 'Tekron' range. (Tekron was an independent New Zealand producer of GPS clocks for the power industry until its purchase by Microchip in 2020). The common Microchip representation between HV Power and Nichecom is one of the drivers for this new arrangement.

Nichecom will continue to operate as an independent company from the same Tawa location, with HV Power helping them expand their business into the power utility market.
