The Institute of High Voltage & Power Transmission (IATTE) is a partner for research and development in the domain of electrical energy. Our know-how is based on well-founded expert knowledge, with teaching at engineering, master and doctorate levels.
The IATTE is conformed by three Laboratories:
- Numerical Simulation Laboratory, for phenomena involving electromagnetic fields and power systems.
- Measurement Laboratory, for instrument calibration and special electrical measurements
- High Voltage Laboratory, involving two testing rooms for medium and high voltages.
The IATTE has organized the 20th International Symposium on High Voltage Engineering ISH 2017
