Transformer oil testing refers to the process of conducting a series of tests and analyses on transformer oil, aimed at evaluating its physical, chemical, and electrical properties to ensure the normal operation and safe use of transformers.

Introduction to subdivision types

Routine testing: such as appearance, color, density, moisture content, acid value, breakdown voltage, dielectric loss factor, etc. These tests can reflect the basic quality and insulation performance of transformer oil.

Electrical performance testing: such as insulation strength, resistivity, dielectric loss factor, etc. These tests can evaluate the electrical performance of transformer oil, reflecting its insulation and heat dissipation capabilities.

Chemical property test: such as acid value, sludge content, antioxidant, etc. These tests can reflect the chemical stability of transformer oil and evaluate its anti-aging ability and service life.

Special testing: such as the content of dissolved gas components in the oil, antioxidant safety, corrosive sulfur, etc. These tests can further analyze the quality and potential problems of transformer oil, such as overheating, arc discharge, etc.
