Testing capabilities
Power-electronics, environmental and electromagnetic laboratories
The University lists a power-electronics laboratory with an environmental laboratory for component testing and simulation, an electromagnetic laboratory for electrically isolated study of electromagnetic effects, and a magnetics laboratory for magnetic-material testing and research.
High-power machine and drive testing
The University lists seven high-voltage, high-power custom interlocked and remote-controlled test cells for high-power, high-speed machine and drive testing in its Wolfson High Power Laboratory.
Magnetic testing for industry
The University says the PEMCentre is home to a magnetic testing facility that can be used by industry, and publishes developed test-set-up capabilities.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Published high-power distribution capability | +20 MW | The University lists a multi-voltage distribution system with +20 MW power capability in the Wolfson High Power Laboratory. This is a published facility statement, not a guarantee of a particular test configuration, availability or acceptance. |
| Published magnetic-test operating-temperature ranges | Soft magnetic: -40°C to 180°C; hard magnetic: -40°C to 300°C | The University publishes these developed magnetic-test-set-up operating-temperature ranges. Confirm specimen type, test configuration, operating conditions, availability and acceptance directly with PEMC. |
| Published magnetic-test operating-stress ranges | Soft magnetic: 0 to 2 kN (C/T); hard magnetic: 0 to 1 kN (C) | The University publishes these developed magnetic-test-set-up operating-stress ranges, retaining C/T and C exactly as the source labels them. The guide does not expand those source abbreviations. Confirm specimen type, test configuration, operating conditions, availability and acceptance directly with PEMC. |
Access and contact
For magnetic-testing capabilities and support for company activities, the University directs users to the PEMC Contact Form. Confirm the relevant laboratory or test set-up, configuration, availability, safety requirements, price, lead time and acceptance directly with PEMC.
