Highvolt Prüftechnik Dresden GmbH manufactures high-voltage
and high-current test systems for the cable industry, providing
test systems for development, type and routine testing in the
factory up to the point of on-site testing after the laying and
assembly of the power cables.
On the occasion of the 100 th delivered test system, Highvolt
invited customers to a workshop to exchange experiences of
on-site cable testing in the field. Between 24th and 25thSeptember
2009, 40 participants from twelve countries on five continents
visited the Highvolt factory in Dresden, taking the opportunity to
discuss trends and innovations.
Highvolt has experienced increased demand for test systems for
the cable industry, and has recently extended its engineering
and manufacturing capacities. In May this year, the Prime
Minister of Saxony, Mr Stanislaw Tillich, officially inaugurated
the new 3,800m² manufacturing facility and a three-story office
building.
For the future, a growing importance will be attached to the
WRV system for on-site testing of longer cables in one sequence,
often used as backbones of a power supply.
