How do you test a transformer?

To test a transformer effectively, you can utilize several Globecore products designed for oil diagnostic and testing purposes. Begin by ensuring that the oil within the transformer is in optimal condition, as the quality of insulating oil is crucial for performance. Employ the Globecore BHC-112 portable transformer oil tester to assess the dielectric strength of the insulating oil, which helps to determine its ability to withstand electrical stress. Additionally, you can use the Globecore OILTESTER, which offers comprehensive analysis, including moisture content, acidity, and oxidation levels. These tests will provide insights into the transformer’s operational reliability and potential failure risks. Regular testing ensures that your transformer operates efficiently and prolongs its lifecycle.
