ASTA type testing

ASTA type testing on low voltage switchgear is part of the Mardix drive to offer quality products with client peace of mind guaranteed.

We fully support industry certification and offer an unrivalled range of ASTA certification up to 6300A (100kA for 1 sec).

Incorporating a range of devices including Schneider, Terasaki and ABB and advances in steel busbar cladding for improved thermal imaging surveys, we have an ASTA type tested product that will fit your particular requirements.

Providing an extra mark of quality on Mardix switchgear, our current ASTA type testing certification now benefits from innovative new product features such as: compact designs, natural or forced air cooling options and insulated flexible connections to MCCBs and fuse switches fitted as standard for improved safety.

Our collaboration with ASTA - combined with in-house capability for 3D solid modelling design, improved manufacturing techniques, and enhanced product features for ease and speed of build - has resulted switchgear that is built to last and offers cost and space savings. We are proud to be leading the field with this successful approach to ASTA tested switchgear.
