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.
