Electrical parameters

Connection:     86 kVA

In the high-current laboratory, test objects are stressed with regard to their heating and mechanical stress on their carrying capacity with regard to the rated current and the short-circuit current. With the available equipment, tests with alternating and direct current are possible.

The equipment in the high-current laboratory enables the following tests and experiments to be carried out, e.g:

• Heating tests according to various standards
• Mechanical tests according to various standards
• Tests with direct and alternating currents up to 400 Hz
• Endurance tests and continuous switching tests
• Determination of thermal conductivities
• Determination of magnetic properties
• Resistance and contact analysis

Test stands:

• Three-phase current: 86 kVA (up to 25 V and 5 kA) 10 to 400 Hz
• Alternating current: 50 kVA (up to 5 V and 10 kA) 10 to 400 Hz
• Direct current: 86 kW (up to 1030 V and 5 kA)
