KEMA Labs at DTECH 2026

As the power sector prepares to convene at DISTRIBUTECH 2026 from February 2 to 5, KEMA Labs is stepping into the spotlight with a focus on one of the industry’s most pressing issues: understanding why electrical equipment fails—and how to prevent it.

KEMA Labs’ Failure Investigation Services support both manufacturers and asset owners in pinpointing the root causes behind equipment breakdowns, from ageing and design flaws to installation mistakes, operational stress or external damage. The team applies a rigorous, evidence-based methodology that blends visual inspections, advanced laboratory testing and data drawn from real-world operating conditions.

This systematic approach provides clear insights into failure mechanisms, helping companies reduce downtime, mitigate risks and strengthen confidence in their grid assets—topics set to feature prominently in this year’s discussions in San Diego.

KEMA Labs experts will be on-site throughout DISTRIBUTECH to discuss how these services can support utilities and manufacturers in tackling today’s grid reliability challenges.
