The breakdown voltage of insulating oil refers to the maximum voltage the oil can withstand before electrical discharge occurs. For x-ray tubes, the breakdown voltage should typically exceed 30 kV to provide adequate insulation for high-voltage components. Factors such as moisture, particulate contamination, and oil aging can reduce the breakdown voltage, increasing the risk of failure. Regular testing and maintenance are essential to monitor this property. GlobeCore offers oil filtration systems designed to purify and maintain the oil in x-ray applications, ensuring the breakdown voltage remains at optimal levels for safe and reliable operation.
