High-voltage Laboratory of the Technical University of Sofia

We work jointly with High-voltage Laboratory of the Technical University of Sofia, which is a convenient place for the design of complex solutions and tests of completed products in the field of electrical power distribution. The laboratory gear includes:

  • an auto-transformer 40kVA,
  • an AC testing transformer 700kV / 0,5A,
  • light impulse voltage generator 750kV and
  • measuring equipment up to 750kV.

Design and Solutions

Automated laboratories for conducting various electric tests

Automated and autonomous laboratories for conducting electric tests are a very good solution when a manufacturer wants to certify that his products meet certain quality standards. This is applicable to manufacturers producing wire and cables, electric motors, transformers and other electrotechnical products.

Energy management systems (EMS)

The energy management systems designed by us include measurement, monitoring, analysis, control and management. Furthermore, we can conduct an analysis of the current state and offer possible energy-saving solutions.
