High Voltage Laboratory

The High Voltage laboratory is equipped with several test transformers (10 to 330 kV) and impulse generators (up to 400 kV) used for testing and characterisation of insulating materials. The laboratory also contains facilities for tracking/erosion tests conforming to IEC 587 and a pollution chamber conforming to IEC 507.
