Advantages
Strict Global Standard Full Compliance
Fully designed, calibrated, and tested in accordance with IEC 60156 (Insulating liquids – Determination of the breakdown voltage at power frequency), ASTM D877, ASTM D1816, and GB/T 507 international and domestic standards. Test data is globally recognized, meeting the strict requirements of transformer export certification, grid access, and third-party laboratory accreditation.
Fully Automated Unattended Operation
One-click fully automatic test workflow covers the entire test cycle from sample preparation to data calculation and report generation. This eliminates manual operation and human error, drastically reduces labor costs, and significantly improves test efficiency for batch oil sample testing.
Unmatched Measurement Accuracy & Repeatability
±1% full-scale measurement accuracy, ultra-fast breakdown response, and automatic multi-cycle data statistics ensure highly repeatable and reliable test results. This enables accurate assessment of oil insulation degradation, moisture ingress, and contamination, providing a definitive basis for oil replacement and equipment maintenance decisions.
Ultimate Operator Safety Protection
Multi-layer redundant safety interlocks, including safety door interlock, zero-position start interlock, over-voltage/over-current protection, and immediate breakdown cut-off, ensure maximum operator safety during high-voltage testing. Fully enclosed test chamber eliminates the risk of electric shock and oil splash.
Lab & Field Dual-Purpose Design
Compact portable structure and rugged industrial housing make it suitable for both fixed laboratory precision testing and mobile on-site field maintenance. Wide operating temperature range and anti-interference design ensure stable performance in harsh outdoor substation environments, with no need for a dedicated test room.
Low Total Cost of Ownership
Industrial-grade components ensure long service life with minimal maintenance costs. Integrated design eliminates the need for additional test equipment, reducing upfront investment. Accurate oil quality assessment helps users optimize oil replacement cycles, extend equipment service life, and avoid costly unplanned outages.
