Overview

Hilkar's accredited in-house High-Power and High-Voltage Test Laboratory performs special, type, and routine testing for power resistors, reactors, special transformers, power quality equipment, testing systems, and other electrotechnical equipment. Testing is performed in accordance with IEC, IEEE, and other national and international standards.

Our laboratory performs more than 250 test types, including short-circuit, lightning impulse, switching impulse, temperature-rise, partial discharge, and ingress protection (IP) tests. These tests verify product performance, safety, and reliability under simulated operating conditions.

In addition to standard testing, we develop customized test programs tailored to specific customer requirements. These programs support product certification, qualification, and compliance with applicable national and international standards.
