Unlock enhanced electrical safety and reliability with our cutting-edge fault current testing solutions at Venturetronics Labs.
Ensuring Electrical Safety Under
Short-Time Stresses
Venturetronics Labs houses a specialized in-house setup tailored for fault current testing—also known as short-time withstand testing—of various electrical equipment, including busbars, switchgear, circuit breakers, and cables. This crucial testing process evaluates the ability of electrical components to withstand short-duration fault currents, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems under transient conditions.
With our advanced configuration, devices can be subjected to fault currents reaching up to 20 kArms for durations ranging from 500 milliseconds to 1 second. This capability allows us to simulate and assess the response of electrical equipment to high-current faults, enabling us to identify potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities before deployment in real-world applications.
General Specifications
- Output Frequency: 50/60 Hz
- Maximum Current: 20 kArms for 500 ms to 1 s
- Input Voltage: 440 Vrms phase-to-phase at 50/60 Hz
Real-Time Monitoring and Analysis
Fault current testing is essential for verifying electrical equipment’s robustness and safety features, particularly in critical infrastructure and industrial applications where equipment failure can have catastrophic consequences. By subjecting devices to high-current fault conditions within controlled laboratory environments, we can accurately assess their performance characteristics, including thermal behavior, mechanical integrity, and insulation withstand capability.
