A BDV test, or Breakdown Voltage test, is a crucial diagnostic procedure used to assess the insulating properties of industrial oils, particularly in electrical equipment. This test measures the voltage at which the oil fails and allows electric current to pass through, indicating its dielectric strength. A higher BDV value signifies better insulating properties, which is essential for preventing electrical failures and ensuring the safe operation of transformers and other high-voltage equipment. Globecore offers advanced BDV testers that provide accurate and reliable measurements, helping operators maintain optimal oil quality and extend the lifespan of their electrical systems.
