Easy, quick and safe analysis of insulanting fluids.

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

More safety, effi ciency and profi tability

Reliable and regular insulating oil testing with BAUR is used not only for protection of systems but also for prevention of high costs due to failures and accidents. It is highly economical to defer high investments such as the replacement of insulating oils as long as possible for an optimum exploitation. A cost example: replacement of the insulating oil in an 80 MVA transformer at an oil price of 2.50 € and a requirement of about 15,000 litres means an investment of approx. 37,500 €. The life time can be maximised through exact determination of the oil quality, which subsequently improves the profi tability.
