UL and ELTEK International Laboratories have agreed to enhance their level of collaboration to deliver an increased service value to high voltage electrical insulation system (EIS) test clients and to provide the transformer, motor, and generator industry with high voltage expertise, system testing and certification in a more client focused and streamlined fashion.
UL and ELTEK Labs have a long tradition of successful collaboration in testing and certification of EIS. The new level of collaboration is designed to increase innovation, speed to market, and improve market success of our clients.
To do this, UL and ELTEK Labs have developed a simplified approach for timely and efficient handling of HV projects. The simplified approach has UL handling the entire project from program assessment all the way to certification and includes all levels of client engagement. ELTEK will be part of the UL team providing technical and testing support to UL.
The simplified approach will provide alignment between the client, the testing lab, and the certification body, so projects will move from conception to certification quickly and smoothly. The new service includes HV EIS for use in: motors or generators to IEC 60034-18-31 or others in the 60034-18-series and transformers to the newly accepted test method expected to become IEC 61857 Part 41 or IEEE C57.12.60.
