HIGH VOLTAGE
- studies of the high voltage insulation and applications associated with high voltages and high electrical fields
- effects on high voltage equipment (transformers, cable power lines etc.) caused by high loading, nonlinear loads and power quality
- influence of power quality and dynamic power loading on the equipment, increased thermal and mechanical stress and degrading are investigated
- variable impacts on high voltage cables and equipment insulation
LABORATORY SERVICES
- lighting and switching impulse voltage tests
- high voltage tests
- measurement of partial discharges (PD) in power cables and insulators, etc., using alternative voltage in the laboratory and with a damped alternative voltage (DAC) device in field
- measurement of insulation resistance (transformers, motors, generators, cables, etc.) in direct voltage
- measurement of oil dielectic strength using different types of electrodes
