TEST
LABORATORY
GBE SpA has three test rooms subject to regular calibration and checks, and SIT-certified instrumentation, used to offer a laboratory service for checking insulation, making electrical measurements of any type and measuring leakage, even on the customer’s own transformers and machinery. The laboratory service can identify malfunctions and non-conformities in the device under test that would not be found with a visual inspection. Furthermore, the professionalism of the test room personnel and their test and measurement experience mean they can offer constructive measures to remove problems or solutions to improve installation. A full test report is issued after testing.
