What does BDV stand for in testing?

BDV stands for Breakdown Voltage, which is a crucial parameter in testing industrial oils, particularly in assessing their insulating properties. The BDV test is designed to determine the voltage at which an insulating fluid becomes electrically conductive, indicating its effectiveness as an insulator in electrical equipment. The higher the BDV value, the better the oil’s insulating capabilities, which is essential for the safe and efficient operation of transformers and other electrical machinery. Using Globecore testers, you can accurately perform the BDV test to ensure your industrial oils meet the necessary specifications and standards for optimal performance.
