All You Need to Know about Surge Testing

Image
Surge testing is defined as the process to assess and evaluate the ability of electrical equipment to withstand voltage surges, which are quite sudden, high-voltage spikes in electrical power. These surges can even be caused by lightning strikes or can damage any sensitive electronic components. The following shares why surge testing is important and how it can handle transient events. Why is Surge Testing Important? Protecting Equipment Surge testing is a helpful way to identify weak spots in equipment that could be vulnerable to voltage surges. By spotting and fixing these issues, surge testing helps ensure your equipment remains reliable, even during voltage surges. Meeting Standards Many industries follow important standards from IEC and IEEE. These may often comprise certain surge testing requirements for certain equipment. In sensitive environments like medical devices or critical infrastructure, surge testing is especially crucial for safety. It ensures that the equipment doesn...

Grasping the BIS CRS Framework

Image
BIS CRS is a compulsory registration framework. Faced with the mandate of protecting public health and providing assurance in the marketplace, BIS CRS has become an essential part of product compliance in the Indian import and manufacturing environment. The program requires that some electronic and IT products comply with Indian standards and be registered with BIS before being marketed. Testing and Registration Procedure The BIS CRS has a well-established process that starts with product testing at laboratories recognized by BIS. Tests can be carried out only by laboratories that are accredited under the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and recognized by BIS. Once the sample product is successfully tested, the manufacturer applies to BIS with the test report and documents. On successful verification, BIS assigns a registration number and allows the manufacturer to use the Standard Mark on the packaging of the product, which marks compliance...

Appraising the Significance of Voltage Dips and Interruption Testing with Electric Equipment

Image
In this day and age, reliability in electrical supply is imperative to a great extent. However, one of the critical areas in sustaining that reliability is the stability, reliability, and quality of the voltage supply. This is where the Voltage Dips and Interruptions Test comes into play as an invaluable power quality measuring tool. It is paramount for evaluating how quickly and how electrical equipment will respond during unexpected voltage supply dips, or complete losses of voltage supply, also known as consumer interruptions, in real time. Why Testing for Voltage Dips and Interruptions is Important? The Voltage Dips and Interruptions Test aims primarily to investigate the durability of electrical equipment to these faults. The test also supports companies in strengthening their systems to either thrive or stop safely during a dip or interruption in supply.  The test may also allow facility managers and engineers to uncover weaknesses in their electrical systems so they can tak...
