Diagnostics of rotary and non-rotary power producing equipment
In this highly specific field, the company provides complex solutions of the maintenance of electric equipment for production, distribution and the exploitation of electric energy. In accredited very high tension/high tension testing laboratories, the company has rotary and non-rotary electric equipment tested with DC and AC voltage for failures in winding insulations, short-circuits, etc. It involves the analyses of oils and the tests of solid insulations.
Testing engineering, testing laboratories for very high tension / high tension
- tests of personal protective and working equipment in electrical engineering: live-conductor testers, phasing kits, fishing hooks, disconnecting and manipulation rods, dielectric gloves and shoes
- insulation tests of high-tension device transformers
- tests in very-high-tension testing laboratories (voltage sources up to 150 kV/AC; 0.5 A)
- tests at customers’ site using mobile sources (voltage sources up to 350 kV/AC; 350 kVA, impulse generator of atmospheric pulse 1.2/50 μs; 25 kV)
