Ensure electrical devices
conform to appropriate standards - with the options of
independent assessment and design support.
Lightning protection testing
of surge protection devices (SPD)
The most recent service
added to the ERA Protection Testing portfolio is Lightning
Protection Testing. This covers SPD's incorporated into
electrical wiring accessories. These can now be tested
at ERA's electrical testing laboratory. The pulse shapes
available are 8/20ms short-circuit at up to 4kA and 1.2/50ms
open-circuit 200V to 8.0kV.
Electrical safety testing
ERA also safety
tests for manufacturers and organisations such as Trading
Standards departments. This is to ensure quality and safety
of products after initial product testing and certification.
It is important that electrical products conform to their
relevant standards as counterfeit products sold in this
country have already caused fatalities.
