Laboratory
Electrical Machines and Equipment Testing Laboratory.
The key areas of the laboratory’s activities are:
- Safety testing of electrical devices (LVD), including testing in accordance with the PN‑EN IEC 62368 standard.
- Testing of mining equipment.
Safety testing of electrical devices:
In this area, the laboratory conducts key tests from the perspective of user safety, aimed at confirming product compliance with Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and Council (the LVD directive) and the Regulation of the Minister of Development, Journal of Laws 2016, item 806 (on the requirements for electrical equipment).
Testing of mining equipment.
- insulation resistance measurements,
- electrical insulation strength tests,
- functional tests,
- heating tests.
The most important tests offered include:
- insulation resistance measurements,
- electrical insulation strength tests,
- leakage current measurements,
- temperature rise tests,
- surge immunity tests,
- accessibility checks for live parts,
- verification of the protective grounding (PE) circuit,
- power and current consumption measurements,
- high-current load tests,
A detailed description of the testing methods can be found in the PCA accreditation scope No. AB 261.
