Introduction

Breakdown voltage testing is widely used to evaluate the insulating performance and condition monitoring of transformer oils and other insulating liquids. The presence of contaminants such as moisture, suspended particles, or aging by-products can significantly reduce the dielectric strength of insulating oils.

The Transformer Oil BDV Tester automatically performs the entire testing process including voltage increase, oil stirring, settling, breakdown detection, result calculation, and printing, ensuring reliable and repeatable measurements.

This tester is widely used in power utilities, transformer maintenance laboratories, petroleum testing laboratories, and chemical industries.
