High Voltage Test Laboratory
The high voltage (H.V.) laboratory is used to test for AC
and DC dielectric and impulse tests on materials and specimens.
A portable electrical impedance model of the human body has
been created for use in test circuits to assist in the study
of electrical shock and electrocutions.
The H.V. lab has been used in numerous areas such as: personal
injury, equipment failure and liability, fire investigation
cases, and manufacturing design verification.
High Current Test Laboratory
Two high current test sets are used to test the current carrying capacity and
heating distribution and dynamics of various specimens. An infrared camera, thermocouples,
Rogowski coil, and other equipment are used to record data. Electrical current
injection testing of electrical connectors and conductors is done to determine
the current carrying capacity of these objects.
