Medium Voltage Lab
In the Medium Voltage Lab, our researchers test industrial components, sensors and power electronic converters under real-world medium- and high-voltage conditions.
In this way, they assess the performance, safety and reliability of various pieces of equipment before they are deployed on the electricity grid.
With the capability to test both AC and DC at high voltages (in the 100 kV range), the lab offers a comprehensive and advanced testing environment.
