Applications:
The laboratory is equipped with advanced facilities for the evaluation of the dielectric breakdown strength and electrical endurance of insulating materials under AC, DC, and impulse voltage stresses. These tests are essential for assessing the reliability, safety, and lifetime of dielectric materials used in power systems, electrical equipment, and high-voltage insulation applications.
Special focus is devoted to polymeric insulation systems, where breakdown and endurance measurements provide key information on insulation performance, aging resistance, and long-term behavior under severe electrical stresses. The facility enables the investigation of material degradation mechanisms and supports the development of advanced insulating materials for next-generation energy technologies.
Available facilities:
Electrical endurance describes the ability of a polymeric insulating material to withstand electrical stress over time without failure. Endurance testing is used to evaluate long-term reliability and predict the service lifetime of insulation systems. These studies support the development of advanced insulation systems for power cables, electrical machines, transformers, and power electronic equipment.
