HELU contributes to raising awareness about DC leakage currents and EMC.
HELU sponsors cables for the training and education of technicians and engineers.
At HELU Nederland, we believe knowledge truly gains value when theory becomes visible in practice. That is why we proudly support the Battery & DC Safety Academy in raising awareness around DC leakage currents and EMC.
By providing different cable types for practical EMC and leakage current training setups, technicians, engineers, and safety professionals can now experience firsthand the impact cable selection has on leakage currents to ground.
With specially developed measurement setups, it becomes immediately visible that the choice of cable type can cause significant differences in leakage currents. For example, a standard YMvK-as cable can, in certain applications, result in considerably higher leakage currents than a true EMC cable. By making this measurable and visual, greater insight is gained into an issue that often remains invisible in many installations.
Why is this important?
Unwanted (DC) leakage currents can lead to:
- interference with sensitive equipment;
- EMC issues and malfunctions;
- stray currents through metal structures;
- accelerated corrosion and potential damage to building infrastructure.
With the rapid growth of electrification, battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, and other DC applications, managing leakage currents is becoming increasingly critical. That is why we believe it is important not only to deliver high-quality cable solutions, but also to actively contribute to knowledge sharing and awareness within the industry.
Together, we make complex electrical phenomena understandable, measurable, and visible.
Because measuring is knowing — and seeing is believing.
These trainings are organized by DC-Lekstroom Advies Nederland. With more than 35 years of experience in electrical engineering, instrumentation and control technology, EMC, and explosion safety, DC-Lekstroom Advies Nederland helps companies measure DC leakage currents and EMC issues and prevent them structurally.
No heavy theoretical reports, but clear insights, practical measurements, and solutions that actually work.
