A good investment to avoid high costs
Insulating fluids testing with BAUR

Oil Diagnostic Systems provided by HVT can alert you to loses in the insulating and cooling properties of oil due to impurities and ageing. Consequences to these loses include damage and failures of equipment and systems, even catastrophic failures resulting in transformer fires. The testing of insulating fluids can extend the life of your electrical equipment.

Maximum quality, reliability and precision for the safety and profitability of your facilities.

BAUR oil testers are characterized by quality recognized worldwide. Quality in the definition of BAUR and its customers are not empty words. It is determined by criteria which have a direct or indirect impact: 

• Precision, reliability and scope of measuring results
• Reduction of testing time and costs
• High degree of individualization and user friendliness
• Long lifetime of instruments

With these principles, BAUR makes complex technologies and complex standards easy, safe and profitable for the customer.

Insulating fluids are a key component of much electrical equipment. Highly refined mineral oils, silicone fluids, vegetable oil (natural esters) and synthetic esters guarantee the operation of transformers, medical and safety or even radar technology devices. Insulating materials lose their insulating and cooling properties due to impurities and ageing. The consequences include damage and failures of equipment and systems, even catastrophic failures resulting in transformer fi res and the consequent costs and environmental damage.

The testing of insulating fluids is therefore legally stipulated and regulated through national and international standards. Equally important are the economic reasons for regular testing to include extended lifetime of equipment and optimal use of insulating oils to achieve enormous potential savings.
