• Power Line Systems and Components

Heavy Current Testing

• Three phase currents up to 12000 A
• At extra low voltage , 50 or 60 Hz

Efficiency & MEPS Testing

• Electric motors, Transformers and Variable Frequency Drives

Transformer Load Testing

• Back-to-back loading tests
• Up to 1000 kVA

Temperature-Rise Testing

• Conductor Systems, Switchgear, Transformers & Converters
• With 1 Ph / 3 Ph Currents To 10 kA
• Multipoint Measurement and Logging

Other Testing and Measurement

CalTest's wide range of precision equipment facilitates the measurement of electrical quantities including power, energy, voltage (including voltage which is electrostatically generated), current (over a very wide range), and both low resistance (cables, busbars, joints etc.) and high (cable insulation resistance, for example).

Precise measurements of mechanical quantities including force, torque and rotational speed are also catered for.

Consulting Services

Consulting activities include failure analysis and the investigation of accidents and events involving electrical equipment in both industrial and domestic settings, and the development of specialised testing and measurement systems.
