Insulating oil testing

Insulating liquids are an important component of many electrical devices. Highly refined mineral oils, silicone oils, vegetable
oils (natural ester) and synthetic ester ensure smooth operation of transformers, medical devices, safety devices or even radar
equipment. Insulating materials lose their insulating and cooling properties due to impurities and ageing. This can result in
damage and failure of transformers and systems.

Testing of insulating liquids is regulated by national and international standards. You can achieve huge savings potential
through optimised use of insulating oils and regular testing to increase the service life of oil-insulated transformers and
systems.

Cable fault location
Faults in cable systems should be detected quickly and precisely using efficient pre-location and pin-pointing methods. To
achieve this, BAUR offers robust, reliable, flexible devices that are equipped with the appropriate methods depending on the
application.
