It is based on a 400Amp, 11kV soft start fitted with special electronic potential transformers that automatically identify the incoming voltage to assist with swift and accurate set up for each test. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is used for overall control of the test station and holds number of different test protocol in its memory.

The design brief required the test station to accept 3.3kV, 5kV, 6.6kV, 10kV and 11kV incoming voltages from five different transformer feeders. This enables the station to test different voltage motors from 30A to 400A.
