EOS® laboratory check: How we analyse the quality of your insulating oil

In order to avoid performance degradation in transformers or even transformer failures, regular testing of your insulating oil is important. So important, in fact, that Electrical Oil Services (EOS®) offers general laboratory services for insulating oils as well as other services. Please read this article to find out what these are.


Insulation oil analysis in electrical equipment

To ensure the operational safety of oil-filled electrical equipment, the insulating oil quality of your transformers and tap-changers should be checked regularly. If the values deviate from the standardised limit values, both the operational safety and the service life of your transformers will be reduced.

 

Electrical Oil Services (EOS®) therefore recommends to customers:

  • Regular insulating oil sampling on site by EOS® specialist personnel

  • Insulating oil sample analysis in our own EOS® laboratory

  • Continuous condition assessment and recommendation of necessary maintenance measures or interventions

  • Joint advice on asset management and the use of a suitable insulating oil.


Ensuring consistently high insulating oil quality with the EOS® laboratory and EOS® laboratory services

Regular insulating oil analyses enables you to assess the insulating oil in terms of its electrical, physical and chemical properties.

For this purpose, we at Electrical Oil Services will regularly - at least once a year - contact you and list for you the transformers stored in our transformer database that are due for testing. Provided you commission us with the insulating oil sampling, we will arrange an appointment with you, take the relevant oil samples and analyse them in our EOS® laboratory

Depending on the condition of the analysed insulating oil within your transformers, EOS® will provide you with insightful recommendations regarding the maintenance measures to be carried out as required. 

 

EOS® laboratory services include - depending on your mandate 

  • Standardised insulating oil analysis according to IEC 60422

  • Analysis to determine the condition of the insulating paper 

  • Dissolved gas trend analysis (DGA)

  • Determination of PCB content


EOS® offers standardised analyses according to IEC 60422 as well as individually adapted analyses according to your requirements: 

  • DIN ISO 2049
Appearance and determination of the colour number
  • DIN EN 60156
Determination of breakdown voltage
  • DIN EN 60814
Determination of water content
  • DIN EN 62021-1
Determination of acid content
  • IEC 60247
Determination of the dielectric loss factor (Tan Delta)
  • DIN 60422
Inhibitor determination and oxidation stability  
  • DIN EN IEC 62961
