AN ELECTRO-TECHNICAL TESTING LABORATORYAt present, the demand for power has increased many folds and so is the expectation of customers. All customers want reliable power. This has created need for technologically advanced infrastructure solutions to minimize the electrical losses, minimize the breakdowns, assure public safety and avoid any potential liability.

Cables, Conductors and transformers serve as most important assets of the Power System for Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy from generation points to the end users.

It is observed that Cables, Conductors and transformers manufacturing industries are implementing the latest technologies and resources. Power Distribution Companies are adopting various techniques to assure the quality of the power to meet the speci�c requirements of their customers,

Rajasthan Test and Research Centre (RTRC) performs testing of Cables, Conductors and transformers in accordance with various National and International Standards i.e. IS/ISO/IEC/BS/BSEN/ASTM/ NEMA/ANSI/SANS/NES/NFC/etc.

RTRC Tests all the products/accessories with the objective to check and analyze their performance through a series of rigorous tests to identify and detect potential defects, which might otherwise jeopardize reliable operation.
