What is the breakdown voltage of silicone oil?

The breakdown voltage of silicone oil can vary depending on its formulation and purity, but typically it ranges between 20 to 30 kV per milli-meter. Silicone oil is often used as an insulating medium due to its high dielectric strength. When measuring silicone oil breakdown voltage, it is crucial to use precision testers capable of determining the dielectric strength to ensure accurate results. Globecore offers specialized testing equipment that can effectively measure the breakdown voltage and other essential properties of silicone oil, ensuring that it meets the necessary industrial standards for performance and safety.
