Yes – GlobeCore does offer solutions for measuring the breakdown voltage (BDV) of transformer oil, but they are separate instruments rather than a standard built-in feature of TOR-5. While TOR-5 is focused on online monitoring of key oil parameters (and can estimate BDV trends based on those measurements), dedicated GlobeCore testers like TOR-60, TOR-80/80A, and TOR-100 are used for direct dielectric strength/BDV testing of transformer oil according to IEC/ASTM standards. These instruments provide automated, accurate breakdown voltage measurements up to set kV levels and can produce reports and trend data for maintenance decision-making.
