About
CESI's Milan site on Via Rubattino, operating within the KEMA Labs group, is primarily a high-voltage and high-power testing institution of international standing, and its EMC laboratories exist to serve that electrical-grid caseload rather than general consumer compliance. The EMC facilities comprise two anechoic chambers for radiated and conducted immunity testing plus three shielded chambers dedicated to conducted immunity, burst immunity and fast transient testing - a configuration aimed squarely at protection relays, substation automation, energy meters and switchgear control electronics, which must survive the transient environment of a substation rather than a living room. The surrounding estate is on a different scale from anything else in this directory: a high-voltage hall measuring 45 by 40 by 42 metres with a 4,800 kV charging generator storing 240 kJ, rated for lightning impulses to 2,700 kV and switching impulses to 1,800 kV over a 20 by 14 by 13 metre test space; AC sources to 700 kV and impulse generators to 2.0 MV with partial discharge, radio interference voltage, capacitance and tan delta measurement; three cable prequalification lines for systems to 800 kV including a concrete tunnel and a salt-water pool; and a high-power area with six 500 MVA single-phase transformers on a 220 kV grid, a 2,000 MVA short-circuit generator and an external bay for transformers to 400 MVA and 400 kV. The energy meters laboratory is a notified body for the Measuring Instruments Directive annex MI-003, the smart metering laboratory dates from 2000, and ATEX and IECEx certification for explosion-protected equipment is issued through KEMA Labs. Specialisations are protection relays and IEC 61850 substation automation, energy meter certification under EN 50470 and the IEC 62052 to 62059 series, smart metering, switchgear and surge arrester testing, and high-voltage dielectric and HVDC qualification.
