High voltage laboratory which specialises in type tests for equipment in the electricity transmission and distribution network.
They have two flexible and independent testing areas that can be tailored to meet the needs and nature of the tests, which makes it possible to carry out high voltage tests simultaneously.
Tests are carried out In the various test areas in the high voltage laboratory on electricity transmission and distribution network equipment and equipment designed to protect people against high voltages.
Tests are carried out in accordance with the IEC standards associated with each product and in line with the specifications provided by customers.
