Thermal Testing & Heat Rise Testing Electrical Components

Thermal Testing & Heat Rise Testing for Electrical Components

With increasing demands on performance and ambient temperature tolerance, thermal stress in electrical systems has become a critical issue. Our experts provide thermal and heat rise testing for electrical components:

  • Numerical calculation of thermal stress in electrical components and systems using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), starting in the design phase.
  • Experimental determination of enclosure classification according to EN 62271-202 and heat rise testing for electrical components and systems.

 

Examples of Components

Our laboratories specialize in testing the following components and systems:

  • Switching Devices: Circuit breakers, load switches, load disconnectors, disconnect switches, fuses, switch-fuse units, protective devices, and transformer tap changers.
  • Switchgear and MCCs, factory-assembled transformer stations.
  • Surge Arresters.
  • Static Power Converters.
  • Transformers and Transducers: Inductors, capacitors, resistors, cables, wires, and fittings.
