Testing high-voltage (HV) switchgear is essential to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with international standards. CESI conducts comprehensive tests on circuit breakers, disconnectors, panels, and HV assemblies in accredited laboratories equipped with world-class facilities. In the CESI laboratories, type, routine, and acceptance tests are performed in accordance with IEC standards, guaranteeing results that are internationally recognized.
What tests are performed on HV switchgear?
HV switchgear undergoes dielectric tests, impulse withstand tests, operational cycle assessments, and temperature rise verifications to evaluate their ability to operate safely under various load conditions. The KEMA Labs division features high-power testing facilities capable of reproducing real operating conditions, ensuring full compliance with IEC 62271 and related standards.
