Our test centre – with a floor space of 800 m – is equipped
with the latest devices and technologies for engineering
2)
and testing services according to IEC 61400-24 . With
400 kA (10/350 μs), the testing facility in the lightning
current laboratory, part of our test centre, is one of the
most powerful of its kind in the world.
• Lightning current tests on bearings and gearboxes of
the mechanical drive train
• High current tests on the receptors and down
conductors of rotor blades
• High current and high voltage tests on rotor blades
• System-level immunity tests of important control
systems such as the blade pitch control or aircraft
warning light
• Tests on customer-specific prewired connection units to
protect the electrical installation
Take advantage of our know-how when it comes to the
latest standards and fundamental technical principles;
know-how we are pleased to make available to you
through our engineering and testing services. This makes
your protection concepts practicable. In the long-term, you
profit from the operational reliability and high availability
of your wind turbines.
