The Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & IT has established a state-of-the-art High Voltage (HV) Laboratory equipped with advanced testing facilities, providing a comprehensive range of testing services. Our laboratory offers a wide range of testing services, specializing in High Voltage insulation systems and equipment. Over the years, we have contributed to numerous research, development, and testing initiatives, playing a significant role in advancing transmission, distribution, high voltage engineering, and insulation failure technologies.

Our HV Laboratory is designed for the precise evaluation of materials and the detailed analysis of High Voltage phenomena. We provide essential insights into the condition of assets and conduct product testing before they enter the market. Supported by advanced technology and a skilled team, we offer comprehensive testing services that cater to both academic and industrial needs, ensuring high standards of accuracy and reliability

We emphasize delivering independent, third-party testing services. Our expert team, with extensive experience in diagnostics and advanced testing, ensures that clients receive trustworthy, reliable results. Our services support both research and development initiatives, as well as product testing employed in the electrical industry. With customer involvement, we work together to ensure robust evaluations, and we continue to refine High Voltage products for optimal performance.

Our services cover indoor, outdoor, mobile, and specialized environmental testing technologies, backed by in-depth evaluation expertise.
