What is the breakdown voltage per unit volume for silicone oil?

The breakdown voltage per unit volume for silicone oil can vary depending on the specific type and formulation of the silicone oil used. Typically, silicone oils exhibit high dielectric strength, with breakdown voltage values that can reach approximately 25 to 30 kV/mm, but this may differ based on factors such as purity, temperature, and the presence of additives. It’s essential to refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for precise values, and for testing these metrics reliably, Globecore offers advanced diagnostic equipment that can measure the breakdown voltage, ensuring the integrity and performance of industrial oils in operational environments.
