Short Circuit Lab
Facilities and equipment for high power testing of electrical components and installations.
Explore our high-power laboratory for precise short-circuit testing
At the Short Circuit Lab at DTU Ballerup Campus, we specialize in testing electrical components and installations, with a focus on short-circuit tests. Our facility is meticulously designed to handle high-power experiments with precision and safety. Conduct 1, 2, or 3-phased short-circuit tests with currents up to 50 kA for 1 second and supply voltages of up to 3 x 690 V to meet diverse testing requirements. The lab is equipped to accommodate large equipment with dimensions up to 4m x 4m. We provide a secure and reliable environment for your testing needs.
Test small or large equipment with secure and reliable high-power supply
Short Circuit Testing Excellence
Conduct 1, 2, or 3-phased short-circuit tests with currents up to 50 kA for 1 second, ensuring thorough evaluation of equipment. From a 10 kV main supply, the high-power laboratory is supplied through two parallel transformers, to a short-circuit supply up to 3 x 690 V.
Precision Measurement Systems
Measurements of voltages and currents are possible at very high accuracy and in many channels. The short-circuit currents are obtained by Rogowski coils and digital integrators.
Secure and Specialised Facility
Our laboratory is built to safely handle high currents, designed to resist potential effects and ensure a secure testing environment.
Spacious and Flexible Testing Environment
Equipment up to 4 m x 4 m can be brought into the laboratory for testing. Even larger equipment can be tested if built up inside the laboratory.
