Transformer oil testing methods in the laboratory can be difficult because they require specialized knowledge, equipment, and safety measures. Multiple tests are required, and each test requires different equipment and procedures, making the process time-consuming and complex. Precision is also required, and even small errors in measurements or testing procedures can lead to inaccurate results, which can have serious consequences for the transformer's operation.
Due to its compactness, with a height of no more than 38 centimeters and a length and width of 18 centimeters, the TOR-1 is easily portable and convenient for use in field laboratories.
The TOR-1 instrument has a high protection class, allowing for testing insulating oil near transformers in any weather. Its sensor operates efficiently in ambient temperatures ranging from -40 to +60 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliable performance under various environmental conditions.
The instrument design is simple, and its operation requires no highly qualified servicing personnel. After pressing the button to start measurements, the indicators show the values of moisture content and temperature. A more accurate result is available in ten minutes. After that, you can start testing the next sample of oil.
Several methods are used to analyze transformer oil in a laboratory environment, including physical, chemical, and electrical tests. Physical tests, such as color and viscosity, provide information about the oil's physical properties. Chemical tests, such as acidity and water content, provide information about the oil's chemical composition. Electrical tests, such as dielectric strength and dissipation factor, provide information about the oil's ability to insulate and cool the transformer. Other tests, such as dissolved gas analysis and interfacial tension, are also commonly used.
He is a specialist in the electrical laboratory where transformer oil is tested. Once in a while, he sets out for operational locations of transformers and works in the field measuring the breakdown voltage, the dielectric loss tangent, and the moisture content of oil.
OR-1 transformer oil tester is designed to detect the mass fraction of dissolved water in insulating mineral oils the viscosity of which does not exceed 70 cSt at the temperature of 50°C.
The TOR-1 instrument's reliability is enhanced by its measurement accuracy and stability, which are achieved using a capacitance sensor that is insensitive to contaminants in insulating oil.
