Commercial Testing
A wide range of testing capability and technical advice available.
The Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory (TDHVL) is an active centre for research into dielectric materials and insulation systems, as well as high voltage and related phenomena. We are part of the Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) Research Group. Our state-of-the-art facilities are also used for commercial testing, supported by a specialist engineering team who are all actively involved in internationally leading research.
In a landmark initiative with Network Rail, the Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory TDHVL at the University of Southampton unveils the successful advancement to Phase 3 of the "" Network Rail - Overline Electrical Clearances "" project, demonstrating a pivotal shift towards economical railway electrification, with potential savings estimated in the range of tens to hundreds of millions.
