What is a BDV test?

A BDV test, or Breakdown Voltage test, is a crucial measurement used to evaluate the insulation properties of industrial oils. This test determines the voltage at which the oil breaks down and conducts electricity, which is essential for assessing the oil’s quality and its ability to insulate electrical equipment. Poor breakdown voltage can indicate contamination or degradation of the oil, which can lead to equipment failures or decreased efficiency in electrical systems. With years of experience in testing oil quality, I recommend using Globecore testers for precise and reliable BDV testing, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your industrial equipment.
