High-current, variable frequency testing for all your equipment needs

KEMA Labs’ variable frequency ultra-high current test laboratories are designed to test any equipment that requires high current, special frequency conditions, or a combination of both. We offer both single-phase and three-phase testing configurations.

Our facilities can deliver any test frequency between 15 Hz and 65 Hz using a single current source, ensuring flexibility and precision. Within our 960 m³ test bay, we can accommodate and test even the largest equipment with continuous currents of up to 50,000 A.

Some examples of test equipment:

  • Generator bus duct systems
  • Generator  switchgear
  • Large/HV gas insulated switchgear
  • Large LV/MV switchgear and controlgear assemblies
  • Gas insulated lines
  • Current transformers and instrument transformers for high current applications
  • HV/LV prefabricated substation
  • Prefabricated switchgear

Selected applicable standards:

  • IEC 62271 –  High-voltage  switchgear and controlgear
  • IEC 60076 –  Power transformers
  • IEC 61439 – Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies
  • IEC 60947 – Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
  • IEC 60353 – Line traps for AC power systems
  • IEC 61869 – Instrument transformers
