What is Breakdown Voltage of Oil?

The breakdown voltage (BDV) of oil refers to the point at which insulating oil loses its dielectric strength and begins to conduct electricity, potentially leading to failure in electrical systems. In systems like transformers, insulating oil plays a critical role in preventing electrical discharges by providing both insulation and cooling. A BDV test is essential for evaluating the quality and effectiveness of the oil. The higher the BDV, the better the oil can resist electrical breakdown, ensuring the safety and...
