What is a BAUR oil breakdown voltage tester used for?

The BAUR oil breakdown voltage tester is used for determining the dielectric strength of insulating oils in various electrical apparatus. This tester measures the voltage at which the oil breaks down, which is critical for assessing the insulation properties and overall quality of the oil used in transformers and capacitors. By evaluating the breakdown voltage, users can ensure that their insulating oils meet industry standards, indicating effective insulation and reliable performance in electrical systems. This helps in preventing failures and maintaining operational safety in industrial applications.
