Conformity Assessment for LV products
​The recent changes to IEC standard for Low voltage switchgear assembly created a higher demand of tests which earlier were not mandatory. The former IEC 60439 defined indeed two different approaches to compliance: TTA – Type Tested Assembly, an assembly that has been completely type tested and PTTA – Partially Type Tested Assembly, an assembly […]

High RES penetration impact on Operations
​The development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is rapidly growing worldwide and they will play an increasingly important role in electricity power systems in the coming years. The majority of this is expected to be from Variable Non-Synchronous Renewable (VNSR) generation sources. According to the 2020 targets, significant volumes of VNSR generation are estimated across […]

Seismic & Vibration Test Laboratories
If you want to simulate an earthquake, the vibrations experienced by an automotive component on the road, the vibration of a transformer installed on the top of a wind turbine or other heavy vibration stresses, you need Kema Labs MASTER (Multi-Axis Shaking Table for Earthquake Reproduction), one of the few 4000 x 4000 mm six-degree-of-freedom […]
Testing Labs
Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratories
Electromagnetic waves are not seen but they are everywhere. From the 1960s onwards, the world’s militaries have had to test how different electronic devices interact with each other, and devices in everyday life now need to be tested as well. Kema Labs is leader in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing for 40 years and plays host […]

HVDC: Back to the future
​The future began in Gotland in 1950. It is here, between this island 90 kilometers off the coast of Sweden and the mainland, that the first direct current connection for the transmission of electricity was made. Though limited in size and power, the project has had enormous resonance. In fact, the prototype developed by ABB […]
Testing Labs
Protection & Substation Automation Laboratories
The ongoing energy transition requires digitalization with intelligent electronic devices for measurement, protection, and control in power systems. Consequently, larger and smarter grids demand more communication between grid components, as ensuring that energy flows are correctly monitored, protected and controlled is vital to delivering a stable and reliable electricity supply. We offer independent type testing and certification of […]
