What are the standards for transformer oil BDV testing?

Transformer oil BDV test standards primarily include guidelines set by international organizations such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). ASTM D877 and ASTM D1816 are commonly referenced for testing the breakdown voltage (BDV) of transformer oil, ensuring accurate evaluations of insulation strength and electrical properties. IEC 60156 is another important standard that outlines methods for determining the BDV of insulating liquids. Using testers compliant with these standards ensures reliable and consistent measurement of the insulation quality of transformer oils, which is critical for maintaining the performance and safety of transformers. Globecore offers a range of testers specifically designed for precise BDV testing, adhering to these international standards.
