Under Difficult Electromagnetic Environmental Conditions, Get Clean and Reliable Measurement Results

Switchgear Testing
Switchgear testing is carried out to ensure reliability and safety of switchgear and circuit breakers. Typical switchgear tests are carried out against applicable standards. They must be carried out in both R&D facilities, for development purposes, as well as at independent test houses, for certification.

HV Impulse Testing
Most of the power grids worldwide are built by power lines on masts. They are highly exposed to lightning strikes with the risk of damage on the components in a substation, which poses a unique problem for grid testing. Damage to one or several of the elements may result in partial loss of the power distribution capability, unsatisfied consumers and high cost for repair. Performing Lightning Impulse testing on transformers, surge arrestors, isolators and switchgear is an important part of the quality proving process and documents the components withstand capabilities.

Current Zero Testing
Current zero (CZ) refers to the interruption phenomena in high power circuit-breakers. Many, if not all circuit-breakers in commercial use today are working based on contacts moving away from each other, thus creating an electrical arc between the contacts. The current zero phenomena is an indicator for the pressure, temperature, ion density, plasma flow, etc. Current zero measurements are used to understand the phenomena of the arc and to identify the dominant parameters for a successful interruption of the current. This shows the difficulties imposed on grid testing by complex electrical phenomena.

HBM Power Analyzers: Powerful Testing Solutions for Electric Drives

HBM eDrive series power analyzers are ideal testing solutions for inverter driven electrical machines. Based on digital cycle detection, the power analyzers offer unparalleled power computation, delivering reliable results even through dynamic load changes where conventional power meters would fail.
Unlike conventional power analyzers, which cannot cover all current electric drive technologies, eDrive power analyzers have enough flexibility, sample rates and extra features to cope with all modern drive technologies. They can be expanded with more channels, higher sample rates, and additional inputs to futureproof your eDrive testing solution.

• 3 to 51 power channels per mainframe
• Simultaneous acquisition of electrical, mechanical and bus data
• Real time result transfer to automation system and real time raw data storage

Wind Power
Passionate about maximizing wind energy
As turbines age, the risk of machine failure increases. The expense of replacing a single component can be enormous (think of a gearbox), but add to that labor costs and a crane at a site that’s difficult to access.
Maintenance expenses can reach up to 20-25% of the total levelized cost per kWh produced over the lifetime of the wind turbine. This large expense is heavily influenced by the reliability and quality of operation and maintenance decisions that have to be made for these machines.

If you do not know the condition of your wind turbines, how can you avoid expensive failures and cost-effectively plan maintenance ahead of time?
