Turn-Key Short Circuit Laboratories

Overview

Hilkar designs and delivers turn-key short-circuit test laboratories for type testing of low and medium voltage switchgear and electrical panels. These test systems are designed for testing applications up to 1000 V and 120 kA, providing complete solutions for high-current performance verification and compliance testing.

For low and medium voltage switchgear and electrical panels, including:

  • Circuit breakers (CBs)
  • Contactors
  • Disconnect switches
  • Fuses
  • Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs)
