Impulse voltage tests up to 15 kV now available in our laboratory
The latest addition is a new system for impulse withstand and transient overvoltage testing up to 15 kV, a type of test increasingly required in the validation process for electrical and electronic products.
Application sectors
This new capability is relevant wherever electrical robustness is a critical, non-negotiable requirement.
Railway
In the rail sector, continuity of service must be guaranteed even under the most demanding conditions. On-board equipment, converters, auxiliary and infrastructure systems, switchboards and components are all subject to electrical disturbances and overvoltages that can compromise their operation. Tests support compliance with standards such as EN 50155, EN 50124 and IEC 60077.
Lighting and outdoor
Public lighting and outdoor equipment operate in environments particularly exposed to mains disturbances and impulsive transients. With the 15 kV system, we can support the testing of outdoor luminaires, street lighting, floodlights, LED drivers and emergency lighting, with reference to IEC/EN 60598, IEC/EN 61347 and IEC 61000-4-5.
An unmanaged overvoltage can mean machine downtime, electronic failures, loss of productivity and costly repair work. Our laboratory is equipped to test LV switchboards, UPS, inverters, industrial automation systems, EV charging stations and power electronics, in compliance with IEC/EN 61439, IEC/EN 61851-1 and IEC 61000-4-5.
