Specialties
DC-link capacitor reforming, IEEE generator testing, SF6, thermography, BESS and distributed energy.
Core service
Beyond routine testing, FORWA has built niche expertise, governed by its own engineering procedures and by international standards.
That includes DC-link capacitor reforming for Vacon and Danfoss drives, excitation systems and digital excitation (AVR), IEEE generator testing (partial discharge, sudden short-circuit, rotor pole, stator core by flux loop or ELCID), SF6 gas analysis, infrared thermography (levels 1 and 2), and commissioning of battery energy storage and distributed energy resources.
