ELTEK Labs has conducted more Electrical Insulation Systems (EIS) and Component Compatibility Testing (CCT) than all other laboratories worldwide combined. ELTEK Labs is proud to be a Third-Party Testing Laboratory for internationally recognized certifying bodies. ELTEK Labs evaluates all types of materials used in the electrical industry – the list is too extensive to present in any simple format.
However, from wire insulation, impregnating resins and insulating varnishes, injection molding resins, oils, gasket materials, flexible composite sheets, from the first material to be in contact with the conductor to the last layer of the outermost component of any insulation system, ELTEK Labs can evaluate it.
Number One in the world for EIS testing to IEC, IEEE, UL, NEMA and military standards, ELTEK Labs is your one-stop shop. Whether evaluating for submerged applications (to standards such as IEEE 1776 or IEC 60034-18), refrigerant applications, or automotive applications, we have the experience to take care of your projects.
Exposure to temperatures as low as -40°C to as high as 350°C – we can meet your project requirements. Exposure to various environments of vapors, liquids, applied voltages under water, wet, dry, high humidity – we run these programs for the entire industry.
Electrical Testing
A range of High Voltage test equipment provides a wide range of voltage breakdown capabilities. Individual equipment:
- Up to 50kV AC
- Up to 100kV AC with a second tap max. at 10kV
- Up to 150kV AC with a second tap max. at 15kV
- Up to 1kV AC for accuracy in the low AC test range
- Up to 1kV DC for accuracy in the low DC test range
- Impulse testing: IEEE and IEC waveform of 1.2/50µs for impulses up to 48kV; positive, negative or alternating polarity.
Each of these test units can be used for testing all types of materials to ASTM, NEMA, IEEE, IEC, ISO and many other Standards.
