ISOLIME has also the opportunity of using important research facilities of
the International Research Centre on Atmospheric Icing and Power Network
Engineering (CENGIVRE), located on the
campus of the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (UQAC), Qc, Canada.
The HV laboratory at the UQAC is one of the largest in Canada, with a very
reputed faculty base and available research support.
Diverse resources are also available on the UQAC’s campus. Additional
resources are also available from other laboratories/research centers, for
example:
- The CIGELE/INGIVRE for HV
facilities (350 kV test transformer, 120 kV test transformer, Modular impulse
system up to 200 kV, short-circuit transformer (up to 2000 A), standard
lightning impulse 800 kV @ 60 kJ, Infrared camera, Corona camera,
Photomultipliers, High speed cameras, spectrograph, AFM,…).
- the chemistry laboratories for HPLC, infrared
spectrometers,...
- and Aluminun research center (CURAL) and AMIL for mechanical testing
equipments (tensile strength, interfacial tension, DSC,…).
