GCC Electrical Testing Laboratory will be a world class
Electrical Product Testing and Services Hub in the GCC
and MENA region, Independent authority for testing
and certificating High-Voltage, Medium-Voltage and
Low-Voltage electrical equipment, Act as a third
party for failure investigations and arbitration,
provide Low Voltage calibration services for electrical
equipment and testing tools and certification courses
for engineers and technicians
Introduction
Main features of the GCC Laboratory:• Independence, latest technologies and facilities and
strategic relationships with international laboratory
• Location: Dammam city, Eastern Province of the Kingdom, near the crossroads network linking the Arab GCC countries
• Market: Promising electricity market, with huge growth rates
• The Laboratory shareholders are the main electricity market drivers
Laboratory facilitiesThe GCC Laboratory will consist of three distinctive laboratories: High Voltage, high power and low voltage laboratories, in addition to many other necessary laboratories to complete the required tests such as mechanical, chemical, materials testing and calibration and others.

High Voltage Laboratory (HV)The HV lab will be equipped with high voltage sources and testing halls of suitable dimensions for testing medium and high voltage electrical equipment with rated voltages up to 420 kV. The HV Lab will offer comprehensive testing facilities for most of the electrical equipment including insulators, transformers, switchgear, cables, & cable accessories. The Lab will be capable of performing the required type, special and routine tests as per relevant local and international standards. The main testing facilities are:
High Power Laboratory (HP)The HP laboratory will be initially equipped with two short circuit generators, with future addition of 3rd generator. The Lab will be capable to provide short time current tests for medium and high voltage switchgears, breakers, cables, transformers and others for equipment frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz. The HP Lab facilities will have the following capabilities:
1
2
3 Low Voltage Lab (LV): The LV laboratory will be capable of performing all required safety, acceptance, efficiency and performance tests for household appliances such as Air-conditioning, Refrigerators, food freezers, Cooking and heating appliances, Washing appliances and Microwave ovens and other products.
The tests will include measurements of voltages, currents,
The LV laboratory will have the capability to perform test of appliances with supply voltages 110-240 Volt, single phase 50 or 60 Hz and 400-460 Volts, three phase 50 or 60 Hz.
