Key Features:
- Portability:Â Compact and lightweight for both field and laboratory use.
- Ruggedness:Â Built to withstand harsh environments.
- Accuracy: Digital kilovoltmeter with ±2% accuracy.
- Safety:Â Automatic high voltage shutdown at breakdown.
- Versatility: Tests according to ASTM and IEC standards.
- Efficiency:Â Preprogrammed voltage rise rates and automatic termination.
How it Works:
The OC60D applies a gradually increasing AC voltage to an oil sample placed in a test cell. The voltage at which the oil breaks down (dielectric breakdown voltage) is measured and recorded. This value indicates the oil’s insulating properties.
Applications:
- Quality control of new insulating oils
- Condition monitoring of in-service oils
- Troubleshooting equipment failures related to oil degradation
