Diagnostics and Prophylaxis Laboratory

The Laboratory of Diagnostics and Prophylaxis serves for scientific research purposes and for the preparation of final theses of bachelor's and engineering students and doctoral dissertations at the Department of Electrical Power Engineering. The laboratory studies the electrophysical properties of liquid and solid high-voltage insulating materials. Their changes during aging under accelerated thermal stress are studied. The laboratory is equipped with instruments and devices that can be used to study the capacitance and dissipation factor of insulating materials. The laboratory has two programmable furnaces in which thermal aging of insulating materials can be carried out. For measuring electrical properties, the laboratory has a manual and automatic bridge for measuring the capacitance and dissipation factor of insulating systems from the company TETEX.
