    Transformer oil testing is conducted using a variety of diagnostic methods to assess the oil’s quality and performance. The process typically involves samples being collected from the transformer and analyzed for parameters such as dielectric strength, dissolved gas analysis (DGA), moisture content, and viscosity. Devices from Globecore, like portable oil testers, measure dielectric strength to ensure that the oil can effectively insulate and protect electrical components. Additional tests may include testing for acidity and particle contamination, utilizing Globecore’s laboratory equipment for precise results. Overall, these tests help in evaluating the condition of the transformer oil, ensuring its functionality and preventing failures that could lead to significant operational issues.
