Transformer oil testing is a crucial process to ensure the reliability and efficiency of electrical transformers. To conduct a transformer oil test, a variety of specialized methods and equipment are used to measure the oil’s physical and chemical properties. The most common tests include measuring the dielectric strength to evaluate insulation properties, checking the moisture content to prevent degradation, and assessing the acidity level to determine oil degradation. Additionally, tests for dissolved gas analysis (DGA) help identify potential faults within the transformer. Globecore offers a range of advanced testers specifically designed for transformer oil testing, providing accurate diagnostics and insights into the oil’s condition, ultimately ensuring the safety and longevity of the transformer.
