Overview of CASHIPS High-Power Electrical Equipment Test Facility

Certified by China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) in May 2017, the High-Power Electrical Equipment Testing Center of CASHIPS (Hefei Institutes of Physics science, Chinese Academy of Sciences) which equipped with the largest DC (Direct Current) high-power test facility in China, is a professional test organization on high-power electrical equipment. 15 test reports are accredited by CNAS. Constructed by four thyristor-based AC/DC. converter modules, the rated steady-state current of DC high-power test facility is 120 kA and the rated pulse current is 500 kA. Up to now, the test for 17 devices of 16 companies and manufacturers in the world have been completed. In this paper, the performance and testing capability of High-Power electrical equipment test facility is presented.
