The breakdown voltage test is used to evaluate the degree of impurity in insulating oils due to foreign particles, gas and water. It meets current regulations and is economically useful to protect electrical systems such as Transformers and switches, as well as, medical and security systems from breakdowns. The main reason for such damage is the poor condition of the insulating oil.

The oil tester is designed for continuous operation in the laboratory. This high performance instrument is characterized by the combination of extraordinary properties such as a test voltage up to 100 kV, clear breakdown detection and absolutely reliable measurement results. The TOP oil tester is the leading testing instrument for users in the electricity industry, in testing institutes and other industrial applications.

How can you test the dielectric strength of oil of transformer?

dielectric strength is tested by transformer dielectric strength oil testing machine. at first, oil which is to be tested is pour near the two electrode. both the electrode should be dipped in oil . then adjust the distance between the electrode .now start the machine.when a sound came from machine then note down the dielectric strength of the oil.

What is cube test of concrete?

we can define the compression strength of structure by cube. if we can not get sufficient strength of cube so we should hamaour bond test, NDT, Core test. means we can preparation by cube test.


What is Dielectric test?

The Dielectric Discharge (DD), sometimes called re-absorption current, test is performed during the discharge cycle after the test. There are three components of current (charging, polarization and leakage currents) present during a standard insulation test, which make it difficult to determine the dielectric discharge. Rather than measuring the polarization current during an insulation test, the DD test looks at the de-polarization and capacitive discharge currents at the conclusion of the insulation test. The device under test (DUT) must be charged for an adequate amount of time to be stabilized therefore, the only remaining current component is leakage current. The DUT is then discharged at the completion of the insulation test and the current flow is measured during a standardized time of one minute. This current is dependent on the overall capacitance and the ending test voltage. Dielectric discharge is calculated as: Dielectric Discharge = I (after 60 seconds) / Volts x Capacitance The DD test can identify excess discharge currents that happen when a layer of multi-layer insulation is damaged or contaminated. This condition will be missed by both the spot test and the Polarization Index test. Discharge current will be higher, for a known voltage and capacitance, if an internal layer is damaged. The time constant of this individual layer will differ from the other layers, causing a higher current than for insulation that is good. Homogenous insulation will have a DD value of 0 while good multi-layer insulation could have a value as high as 2. Source: http://www.aemc.com/

What is BDV test for distribution transformer?

When you say BDV you might mean the dielectric strength of transformer oil. A new transformer oil should have at lest a dielectric strength of 39 KV. from a British standard.Transformer oils used are normally tested using ASTM D877-82 with the KV strength tester using 1" electrodes spaced 0.1" apart and the test voltage increased at 3,000 volts/min until it breaks down. The average Kv obtained after 8 trials is considered the Oil dielectric strength.Using this test method,dielectric strength at 30 kv and above is considered good. Dielectric strength between 23 to 29Kvis considered usable, but requires filtering. Below 23 kv, the transformer oil should be replaced.Another method ASTM D18747-82 uses the small radius electrodes but spaced only .o4 inches. The test voltage is 500volts/min and increased until breakdown. The dielectric strength is still the average Kv obtained in 8 trials. The dielectric strength of 28-29Kv is considered good. Below 28 kv, the transformer oil is usable but requires filtering. The latter method is considered a better test method

What is the difference between Dielectric footwear and Electrical hazard footwear?

Dielectric footwear meets ASTM F1117-03 (2008). This footwear is tested to 20,000v while wet. Electrical Hazard (EH) footwear meets ASTM F2413-05 or CAN/CSA-Z195-M92 Section 4.3 and is tested on the soles ONLY. EH is usually used for Low Voltages and in dry conditions. Dielectric can be used for higher voltages and in wet conditions. Usually near possible downed powerlines. These are always "secondary protection since they are not retested like D120 rubber insulating gloves. Dielectric tests in F1117 are performed on EACH shoe. F2413 is performed on a representative number and is a dry test. CAN/CSA-Z195-M92 Section 4.3 is a wet test.


How do you check transformer oil thermal stability?

An Oil Dielectric Strength Tester is the standard for qualifying Transformer Oil. Thermal Stability would involve heating and then testing. I do not know of a product which controls heat and applies the HV test.
