Standards & testing

Measured, not asserted.

Partial-discharge measurement is critical to reliability in high-voltage laminated structures. We test to IEC 60270:2025, which defines charge-based measurement methods for partial discharge under AC and DC.

Every unit ships with resistance, insulation-resistance, dielectric-withstand, partial-discharge, and dimensional records — traceable to material lot and plating batch.
