Tests on low voltage busbars

Ensayos de embarrados de baja tensión

We carry out type tests on low voltage busbars according to the IEC 61439-6 Standard Part 6: Busbar trunking systems (busways).

Manufacturers of low voltage busbars must ensure that the products they sell comply with the electrical safety regulatory requirements as well as the specifications determined by their customers.

We are able to carry out different types of accredited tests to improve the product and analyse potential failures.

We offer the following services:

Full type tests in accordance with IEC Standards:

Resistance of the materials and parts

  • Corrosion resistance
  • Properties of the insulating materials
  • Verification of the thermal stability of enclosures
  • Verification of the resistance of insulating materials to abnormal heat and fire due to internal electric effects
  • Lifting
  • Mechanical impact
  • Marking
  • Ability to withstand mechanical loads
  • Thermal cycling test
  • Degree of protection (IPXX)
  • Insulation distances and creepage distances
  • Protection against electric shock and integrity of protective circuits
