Deakin University has installed a specially customised DC test set from Terco, capable of reaching voltages up to 500kV.
The TERCO High Voltage Laboratory is based on a system of high precision components and can be used to build systems both for teaching and research, as well as for industrial routine and type tests. The system gives values with high accuracy and can even be used for calibration purposes.
The system will be used for undergraduate education, applied research, and industrial testing. Examples of tests include: Measuring of breakdown voltage of materials, Testing the effect of pollution & contaminants on resistors (dust, dirt, salt), and Examining the design of insulators used in high voltage areas.
Located in the purpose built ‘CADET’ Facility at Deakin University, the HV lab was recently installed by Terco and Emona Instruments engineers.

The Terco PST-2200 Power System Simulator was recently installed and commissioned by Terco and Emona engineers at Deakin University.
The System covers the complete chain of power distribution from Generation, Transformation, Transmission, Sub-Stations and Distribution to consumers. All brought together in a high level SCADA environment.
The Terco Power System Simulator has been developed in close co-operation with ABB of Sweden – One of the world leading suppliers of power facilities. The system utilises various ABB protective relays which are compliant to the World Wide Power Industry Standard IEC 6185.
With the simulator you can train people to make correct decisions under various operating conditions. Moreover, you can demonstrate effects which earlier have been covered in theory only. The PST 2200 offers a variety of training schemes for:
• Teaching of students
• Research in Universities
• Power management staff
• Operators of power plants and substations
• Maintenance personnel
Located in the purpose built ‘CADET’ Facility at Deakin University, the PST-2200 will be used extensively for Undergraduate Teaching, and Research purposes.
