The High Voltage Laboratory is a specialized facility dedicated to teaching and research of electrical phenomena and testing equipment related to high voltage. Tests of insulation systems, overvoltage measurements, partial discharge diagnostics, and research on materials used in the energy sector—such as transformers and substations—are conducted here. Students and scientists perform experiments aimed at improving the safety and reliability of electrical grids. The laboratory is part of the power engineering curriculum and plays an important role in the development and innovation of high-voltage technologies.
