Company Overview
Phenix Technologies, a recognized manufacturer of high voltage test systems and components, now operates as a subsidiary of Doble Engineering Company. Based in Accident, MD, USA, Phenix has established itself as a leading provider of specialized equipment for high voltage, high current, and high power testing applications. The acquisition by Doble Engineering Company, a subsidiary of ESCO Technologies Inc., strategically expands their combined capabilities in power grid diagnostic solutions and extends their reach into commercial and industrial sectors, offering a more comprehensive portfolio to a global clientele.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
Phenix Technologies offers a broad array of test systems designed for rigorous electrical apparatus evaluation across various industries. Their AC Resonant Test Systems, available with variable voltage and frequency, range from 15kV to an impressive 2 million Volts. These systems are particularly valuable for testing capacitive loads such as power cables, gas-insulated switchgear, capacitors, and generator windings, with options for both tank-type variable inductance and frequency configurations up to 500 kV.
For motor testing, Phenix provides a complete line of systems capable of evaluating all types of AC and DC motors, from fractional up to 50,000 HP. This includes high-power (300-2500 kVA) and low-power (100-200 kVA) configurations, D-Series systems up to 5,000 HP, along with specialized DC traction motor test sets, motor core loss testers up to 20,000 HP, and physical measurement modules for precise analysis.
Dielectric and Safety Testing Solutions
The company's dielectric testing offerings are extensive, featuring mobile AC dielectric tests for aerial lifts, elevated platforms, and insulated booms, which comply with ANSI A92.2 and IEC 61813 standards. They also produce a range of portable and lab-based AC/DC hipot testers with capabilities up to 600 kV, combo hi-potential test systems, and specialized liquid/oil dielectric test sets. Phenix provides advanced solutions for partial discharge detection, transformer testing (including automated factory systems for single-phase and three-phase units), and robust circuit breaker/relay testing with outputs reaching up to 75,000 AMPS.
Furthermore, Phenix Technologies supplies a dedicated line of utility safety equipment testers. This includes ground jumper testers, switch stick testers (up to 21'), and comprehensive rubber goods testers for gloves, sleeves, hoses, and hoods, with options for AC, DC, or AC/DC testing. These systems ensure compliance, operational safety, and quality assurance for electrical utilities and industrial users worldwide.
