    Methods include:

    Dielectric Strength Testing: Measures the maximum voltage the oil can withstand without breaking down.
    Moisture Analysis: Determines water content, which affects insulating properties.
    Acidity Testing: Indicates oxidation levels and the presence of corrosive compounds.
    Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA): Detects gases formed from thermal or electrical faults.
    Particle Count: Assesses the level of particulate contamination.
    These analyses provide insights into the oil’s condition, identifying potential risks to cable performance.
