R&D: dare to look towards the future and innovate at present

Put R&D in your life!

At EDF R&D, "we are more disco and mirror ball!"

Have you ever heard of a voltage divider? It's a piece of equipment we use at EDF R&D to accurately measure the voltage value provided by a generator. More generally, we invite you to discover the very high-voltage laboratories of EDF R&D, some of which are unique in the world and in which we carry out various tests for electrical equipment.
