<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>LOVATO LAB<\/b> is the <\/span>R&D<\/b> laboratory of <\/span>LOVATO Electric<\/span> The laboratory is born from the need to expand the company’s testing capabilities for the development of new high-performance products, ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability while reducing time to market. With this laboratory LOVATO Electric joins a very small group of companies able to run power tests at high current values.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Development testing of new products;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Validation testing for compliance with regulations and standards;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Periodic testing of existing products.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul> The laboratory has a total area of 1700 m2 and has a large technical staff.<\/p>\n The <\/span>LOVATO Electric<\/b><\/span> laboratory quality system complies with the international <\/span>EN\/ISO\/IEC 17025<\/b><\/span> standard and is accredited by leading national and international bodies such as <\/span>LOVAG\/ACAE<\/b><\/span> and <\/span>IMQ<\/b><\/span> to run the tests required to obtain product certifications. <\/span><\/p>\n The laboratory has been included by <\/span>IMQ<\/b> in its monitoring programme as CTF2 for testing products for compliance with established standards. <\/span><\/p>\n This enables us to test products for conformity with applicable standards and for CB certification at the same time, thus reducing test times and obtaining third party validation of product performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> TESTING EQUIPMENT<\/b><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div> LOVATO LAB <\/b><\/span>is equipped with the most advanced machines. They include medium voltage synchronous alternators, a <\/span>GTEM<\/b><\/span> cell for <\/span>EMC<\/b><\/span> tests, a synthetic short circuit system rated to 65kA, programmable current generators for temperature and thermal<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> cutout testing, high precision current generators, isolated high sample rate data loggers and static power breakers. The lab is also equipped with high-speed cameras and thermal chambers for the study of physical <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> phenomena related to products.

Ut enim minim veniam duisy ipsum sed quis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> SHORT<\/span> CIRCUIT<\/span><\/h3><\/div> Short circuit<\/b> testing simulates a fault which drastically reduces the impedance of the electrical circuit. The test part is subjected to a high current and power, and must be able to handle them without risk of injury or damage.<\/span><\/p>\n The results of this test enable us to improve the characteristics of the product, whether it is required to break the short circuit or handle it without damage.<\/p>\n<\/div> OVERLOAD<\/span> AND ENDURANCE<\/span><\/h3><\/div> Overload<\/b><\/span> and <\/span>Endurance<\/b><\/span> tests subject the product to anomalous operating conditions to test their service life. Depending on the application, a product may be required to handle up to 10 times its rated current and interrupt 8 times that value (<\/span>overload<\/b><\/span>), as well as execute a high number of operations at its rated current (<\/span>Endurance<\/b><\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
