The laboratory is used for teaching and scientific research purposes. Laboratory exercises and consultations for bachelor's and master's students at the Department of Electrical Power Engineering are held here. The teaching equipment is mainly focused on electrical power engineering design using Eplan, Progecad, and Dialux software, diagnostic methods in the field of high-voltage insulation systems, and other areas of electrical power engineering that require computing technology. The laboratory is equipped with 12 student client stations and one teacher computer station. The laboratory is complemented by modern interactive presentation technology in the form of an interactive touch screen enabling face-to-face teaching as well as remote presentation and teaching, and a wide-angle projector with a camera for scanning printed materials. The room has a large number of seats, so it is also used for various seminars and bilateral meetings.
The laboratory has software such as: ProgeCAD and gEDA design systems, EPLAN, Cenkros, Keysight VEE Pro virtual engineering environment, Matlab, Octave, and FEMM simulation programs.
