Since the establishment of the original Mississippi State University High Voltage Laboratory, numerous manufacturers, utilities, consulting firms and agencies from throughout the country and internationally have used this laboratory for evaluation/testing of new products, evaluation of dielectric materials, and various other projects.

Industrial customers have appreciated the high quality professional service they receive as well as the friendly atmosphere and the fact that as an independence laboratory, test results can be held in strictest confidence.

A representative list of recently evaluation/testing include:

• Electrical evaluation of high voltage polymer and porcelain (station and line) insulators under dry and wet condition
  
  
• Estimation of corona and radio interference voltage (RIV) on both ac and dc line and bus hardware
  
  
• Electrical performance evaluation of distribution and transmission arresters
  
  
• Lightning, switching impulse evaluation of transmission transformers
  
  
• Underground cable dielectric evaluation
  
  
• Lightning, switching impulse evaluation of distribution and transmission switchgear assemblies
  
  
• Acceptance and proof tests on insulated distribution class and transmission class boom trucks
