High Voltage Laboratory Faraday Cage Construction Specifications

1. Laboratory Space Requirements

Structural Dimensions

• Main Test Hall: Typically 20m(L)×15m(W)×12m(H) (customizable)

• Shielded Door: Electric-driven side-sliding design (standard 3m×3m, adjustable)

• Control Room: Minimum 6m×4m recommended with shielded observation window

Pro Tip: For retrofit projects in existing buildings, we conduct laser scans to verify structural tolerances before design.

2. Critical Infrastructure Specifications

Material Handling Systems

• Overhead Crane: 5-10 ton capacity (depending on test equipment)

• Roof Load: Minimum 500kg/m² (increases with suspended equipment)

Environmental Controls

3. Shielding System Components

• Roof Construction: Full-length overlapping shielding plates (1.5mm copper or 3mm steel)

• Wall Assembly: Modular shielded panels (80-100dB attenuation)

• Grounding: Multiple points with <5Ω resistance to earth

4. Safety & Compliance Features

Fire Protection

• FM-200 gas suppression system preferred

• Heat/smoke detectors with shielded conduits

Insulation Requirements

• Floor dielectric strength: ≥100kV/m

• Wall clearance: 1.5× maximum test voltage

Design Process Workflow

1. Submit building diagrams (PDF/DWG format)

2. Provide test equipment layout with dimensions

3. Review preliminary shielding design (3D model)

4. Finalize construction documents

Customization Options

• Shielded viewing windows (optical/RF)

• Interlocked access control systems

• Modular partitions for multi-zone testing

• Integration with existing lab infrastructure
