The unit is fully equipped with modern state-of-art testing instruments and data acquisition platforms (Labview, dSPACE) to undertake standard measurements on most electrical equipments, as well as with specific simulation and calculation softwares (PSIM, Comsol Multiphysics, Neplan, etc.).  It hosts also a High-Voltage laboratory dedicated to teaching and industrial testing and measurement (breakdown voltage, leakage current, etc.). Non-destructive tests are possible mainly for dielectric loss and capacitance measurement (Schering bridge) and for resistivity measurement (measuring cell).

The unit gets funding from regional (e.g. Walloon Region DG06), national (e.g. FNRS) and European (e.g. ESA's Networking/Partnering Initiative) agencies as well as from industrial partners (e.g. in the context of the ALSTOM chair).​
