TECNALIA Electrical Labs carries out important work in the field of medium- and high-voltage insulated cables, as well as their accessories. These are known as cable systems. This work is carried out both in product development and certification laboratories that TECNALIA has near the city of Bilbao, and in the mobile laboratory, which allows on-site evaluation of the installed cables.
TECNALIA mainly offers the market the following:
- Type Tests. The aim is to validate the design of cables and accessories and the compatibility of a full cable system. Tests are carried out in accordance with IEC 60502, IEC 60840 and IEC 62067 standards, covering the full range from medium to high voltage. TECNALIA’s capabilities cover cables and full cable systems up to 220 kV.
- Commissioning tests. These tests aim to detect defects which may have been caused by the transport, handling, laying and assembly on site of cables and accessories: they allow validation of the commissioning. These IEC standards set minimum guidelines for commissioning testing, and it is the electrical companies and regulations who set the most stringent requirements to ensure proper commissioning and operation of the line.
Energy transition will not only rely on renewable sources, it will also require a grid infrastructure capable of handling green electricity. Insulated cables are an essential part of this new infrastructure: they will play an increasingly decisive role in the energy system of the future, contributing to the process of decarbonisation of the system.
