KEMA’s High Voltage Laboratory (HVL) is well-known and recognized throughout the world as an excellent, independent and technical partner. Tests are conducted here for network operators and owners, financiers and supply industries using advanced testing facilities and on site by our own mobile installations. The tests are conducted on the components used to construct electrical power networks. Most of these components are suited for voltages ranging from 10,000 to 550,000 Volt. The laboratory is primarily used for conducting type testing on cables, transformers, insulators and switching installations. In addition, tests are also conducted on-site at high voltage power stations and power plants.
