ENGINEERING APPROACH
From specification to site, every product with the same discipline
01
The tested design is the delivered design
Type tests are performed on samples identical to the product to be shipped, in TS EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories. No difference in block count, length or creepage is allowed between sample and product.
02
Forged steel end fittings
VHD-35 end fittings are forged, not cast, steel as required by TEDAŞ-MLZ/2017-067. All metal parts are hot-dip galvanised.
03
HTV silicone and ECR rod
High-temperature vulcanised silicone housing is hydrophobic and resists UV and ozone. Boron-free ECR glass-fibre rod resists brittle fracture.
04
Specification compliance file
Every quotation comes with a clause-by-clause compliance table against the TEDAŞ or TEİAŞ specification, a guaranteed technical particulars list and a type-test matrix.
QUALITY & TESTING
Designed to standards, verified in accredited laboratories
Insulators and arresters are verified through a four-stage test programme. Type tests are performed on samples identical to the delivered design in TS EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories.
01
Design tests
Interfaces, silicone housing and rod material are verified per IEC 62217, including the 1000-hour salt-fog tracking and erosion test.
02
Type tests
Lightning impulse and power-frequency withstand and mechanical load tests; residual voltage, charge transfer and short-circuit tests for arresters.
03
Sample tests
Dimensional checks, galvanising thickness and mechanical rating verification on samples from every shipment lot.
04
Routine tests
On every unit: mechanical routine test for insulators; reference voltage, residual voltage and partial discharge measurement for arresters.
