Solid Insulating Materials Laboratory
The reliability and useful service life of an electrical equipment is essentially determined by the optimality of the design of its insulation system along with the quality and integrity of the insulating materials deployed for engineering the system. ERDA has state-of-the-art test laboratories to undertake evaluation of solid insulating materials which are part of various electrical equipment.
