Test Your Equipment in Our High Voltage Lab

Our High Voltage Test Laboratory offers mechanical and environmental testing and certification for low- and medium-voltage electrical equipment.

Our Specialized Test Equipment Evaluates and Certifies Electrical Equipment and Apparatus

Available for testing your equipment, our high voltage laboratory is equipped with the specialized test equipment and measuring instrumentation needed to evaluate and certify low- and medium-voltage electrical equipment such as circuit breakers, switchgear, insulators, transformers, power cables, arrestors, capacitors, pole line hardware, bucket trucks, vacuum interrupters, etc. Additionally, we have the capability of performing a wide variety of mechanical and environmental tests.

Our experienced staff will work with you to develop the appropriate tests for your equipment. We can also assist in the redesign and modification of previouslycertified or nevercertified electrical equipment that is used in lifeextension upgrades. Engineering and technical services are available to assist in certification or design tests for all types of electrical insulating systems. Problem mitigation is our specialty.
