Power transformers are key components in power production, transmission and distribution, interconnecting systems that have different rated voltages, from power plants to final users .

KEMA LABS tests power and distribution transformers up to the highest power and highest voltage ratings in use today. We test transformers to standards such as IEC 60076 (oil-filled), IEC 60076-11 (cast resin) and ANSI C57.12.

KEMA LABS can perform complete type tests at our high power and high voltage laboratories, which are set up to deliver enough power for the most rigorous short-time current tests that customers need.
We can even test the largest transformers in situ, on the barges on which they will travel to their installation sites.
