On-Site Electrical Testing Facility at FARE Labs
Electrical testing plays a vital role in maintaining the accuracy, safety, and reliability of systems and components.
FARE Labs offers state-of-the-art onsite electrical testing services, ensuring compliance with National & International standards and delivering precise, dependable results at your location. We specialize in the testing of the following electrical devices and components
Current Transformers (CTs) & Potential Transformers (PTs) Testing as per IS-16227, IS 2705 and IS-3156
CT testing ensures correct ratio, polarity, insulation, and burden characteristics to safely step down high currents for metering and protection. Similarly, PT testing verifies the accuracy and insulation of the transformer used to step down high voltages, maintaining safety and precise voltage measurement.
Tests Performed:
- Determination of Ratio Errors (as per accuracy class)
- Determination of Phase Errors (as per accuracy class)
- Terminal Marking and Polarity Verification
Range of Testing: CTs – 1A to 3200A | PTs – 1.1kV to 132kV
- Earth Pit Testing as per IS-3043:Â This test ensures effective dissipation of fault current and protection against electric shocks.
It is conducted to assess the effectiveness of an earthing system by measuring earth resistance using three pole/four pole method, which is essential for fault current dissipation and personnel safety.
- Soil Resistivity Testing as per IS-3043: Determines the resistance of soil to electric current flow—crucial for designing effective earthing systems.
It is often done prior to installing an earthing system, determines the resistance of soil to electric current flow and helps design an efficient earthing system by identifying suitable locations and materials. Together, these tests form a comprehensive approach to electrical safety, measurement accuracy, and system reliability.
Methodologies:
- Wenner or Schlumberger Method
- Supports optimal earthing system design and safety compliance
