KINECTRICS Expands High Voltage Cable Testing Capacity with HIGHVOLT Contract

KINECTRICS Enhances Testing Capabilities with HIGHVOLT Partnership


KINECTRICS has taken a bold step towards improving its field test capacities for high voltage cables by signing a contract with HIGHVOLT for the acquisition of 10 additional mobile Resonance Test Systems (RTS). This multimillion-dollar investment reinforces KINECTRICS' position as the largest independent provider of high voltage cable testing services globally, a crucial role amid growing energy transition demands.

The impending increase in renewable energy projects is expected to quadruple the demand for high voltage cables, translating to a heightened need for dependable commissioning services. The commissioning tests for high voltage AC cables are essential once the cables are laid and installed. These tests guarantee a seamless handover from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to the owner or contractor, helping to prevent costly operational failures. They include resilience tests and monitoring evaluations based on standards such as IEC 60840, IEC 62067, and IEC 63026, which reliably identify life-limiting installation errors.

David Harris, President and CEO of KINECTRICS, emphasized the necessity of expanding their RTS fleet, stating, "With an enhanced fleet of RTS units, KINECTRICS can proactively meet the rising global demand for reliable energy transmission, providing independent, turnkey commissioning tests for major projects." Having HIGHVOLT as a trusted supplier of field-proven mobile high voltage testing equipment is integral to KINECTRICS' commitment to their clients and the energy sector at large.

HIGHVOLT has been delivering high voltage testing systems for cable testing since 1998, and to date, has shipped over 160 specialized units worldwide. KINECTRICS' recent order marks the largest single contract for this technology, asserting an important milestone towards a sustainable energy future. Dr. Mario Jochim, Regional Sales Director at HIGHVOLT, shared, "A reliable high voltage testing equipment is just one part of the equation. Equally important is the decades of experience our team provides in conducting complex commissioning tests in challenging environments and interpreting the results."

KINECTRICS continues to lead in technical advancements within the industry, innovating diagnostic technologies and contributing to international standardization bodies such as IEC, CIGRE, and IEEE. Their commitment to quality is reflected not only through investments in equipment and facilities but also through their focus on workforce development.
