Transformer oil serves as a coolant, insulant and as a medium for condition monitoring of the transformer. Transformer oil deteriorates in service due to oxidation, thermal and electrical stresses and hence, has to be periodically monitored for its condition. LDL has facilities to test the new oils based on petroleum, vegetable oil esters, synthetic esters and others. The lab is having expertise in diagnostic evaluation of transformer oils for incipient fault diagnosis (Dissolved Gas Analysis, DGA) and also solid insulation condition assessment (Furan Analysis). Details of the testing and standard test methods are as follows.
- Testing & Certification of Unused mineral insulating oils for transformers as per IS 335 for acceptance purposes.
- Testing of Unused mineral insulating oils for transformers as per IEC 60296.
