Laboratory Overview
The Laboratory was constructed on its current site in 1991 with funding from STC Submarine Cable Systems
We undertake a range of Research, Testing and Consultancy work across a variety of HV Systems
Seven academic staff, possessing a wide range of high voltage expertise, are based in the laboratory
Alongside our high voltage facilities we have a fully equipped HV workshop
Cable System Testing
We regularly test high voltage products on behalf of UK/EU based manufacturers
A wide range of tests can be performed on cable systems (both land and submarine), including withstand tests, impulse voltage tests (lightning and switching) and partial discharge testsTests on cable accessories are also offered, including x-ray analysis to verify the integrity of polymeric cable joints.Experience in testing distribution, submarine fibre optic and neutrally buoyant cable systems and accessories such as joints and wet connectors

Consultancy & Forensics
Consultancy has always been a core element of our business, with staff involved in an array of projects both within the UK and overseasWe regularly draw upon our analytical facilities to assist clients in forensic examinations, either for quality control or failure analysis purposesWork carried out in a range of environments from laboratory to cable ships to cable tunnels
Substantial breadth of research in cable systems, from blue sky to end application
Significant work in the development and understanding of novel dielectric materials for both ac and dc application
Use of novel techniques in cable system condition monitoring to make better use of online data
Longstanding work in operational modelling and standards development in areas such as current rating
We have a strong track record of working with industrial partners from manufacturers to transmission utilities
