The following provides details of our test capabilities used in the development process of new products, as part of a quality assurance programme or to identify failure modes in existing products. Testing is generally carried out to recognised IEC / ASTM standards although these often have to be flexed to account for the specific environment within which a device will be tested. All testing can be carried out at a range of pressures / temperatures as required.

Measuring the quality of products before high voltage test is often desirable and is done using techniques such as insulation resistance measurement and dielectric spectroscopy. In addition to the below we therefore have a range of suitable equipment at aHV and access to a wider portfolio of advanced analysis equipment (such as X-ray tomography) through the Manchester based Royce Institute.
