High Power Lab
This full-service lab is ideally suited to testing products that require short circuit tests up to 50kA at various voltages and power factors. It is also fully rated at direct current for various time constants.
Located in the Research Park at the University of Illinois-ranked in the top five U.S. universities for electrical engineering- the Littelfuse High Power Lab is available to other organizations that wish to conduct their own testing.
