Mobile High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) equipment facilitates the testing of cable systems and components at an installation site, which can improve the reliability of the network and can help avoid costly, unplanned failures. HVDC systems are a key technological development that helps support future electric power transmission networks.
We now offer our HVDC services for rental opportunities. Our one-of-a-kind, HVDC test set was built to satisfy the growing needs of our clients by providing a variety of testing options, as well as turn-key smart services to support the transmission and distribution market.
Our HVDC system is the largest of its kind and has a DC voltage of 1200kV and can easily be transported to testing sites using a customized container. The technology offers one of the most efficient means of transmitting large amounts of power over long distances, while supporting the transmission and distribution of renewable power on the Grid.
