Testing Applications
Measure the breakdown voltage of insulation fluids
used in transformers, capacitors, bushings and related
high voltage equipment. With the appropriate oil
vessel test cell, these test sets are designed to perform
tests in accordance with standards ASTM D1816,
ASTM D877, IEC 60156, BS 148, VDE 0370, plus
other applicable standards.
Description
The controls located on the front panel include an
easy-to-read digital voltmeter, on/off and remote mode
switch, rate of rise selector, start/stop/reset switch, and
device pair switch with indicator lamp to permit Bluetooth
connection. Test standards are preloaded into the
Android device. The test compartment is provided with
a see-through lid interlocked to the test circuit with a
limit switch to ensure full safety during operation.
The liquid to be tested is placed in the test cell and then
placed in the test compartment on the cradle contacts,
the rate of rise is selected, the test chamber lid closed,
and the switch moved to start position. The test set
will automatically raise the voltage. When a breakdown
of the liquid occurs, the test sample failure lamp will
illuminate, and the meter will hold the breakdown
voltage level.
