Abstract

This Uganda Standard covers the determination of the dielectric breakdown voltage of insulating liquids (oils of petroleum origin, silicone fluids, high fire-point mineral electrical insulating oils, synthetic ester fluids and natural ester fluids). This test method is applicable to insulating liquids commonly used in cables, transformers, oil circuit breakers, and similar apparatus as an insulating and cooling mediumThis test method is applicable to insulating liquids commonly used in cables, transformers, oil circuit breakers, and similar apparatus as an insulating and cooling medium. (This standard is an adoption of ASTM D1816-12 (Reapproved 2019) Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating Liquids Using VDE Electrodes).
