What is BS EN 60247- Insulating liquids about?
BS EN 60247 describes methods for the determination of the dielectric dissipation factor (tan δ), relative permittivity and d.c. the resistivity of any insulating liquid material at the test temperature.
BS EN 60247 outlines methods that are primarily intended for referring tests on unused liquids. They can also be applied to liquids in service in transformers, cables, and other electrical apparatus. However, the method is applicable to a single-phase liquid only.
Who is BS EN 60247- Insulating liquids for?
BS EN 60247 on insulating liquids is useful for:
- High Voltage Cables Manufacturers
- Switch Gear Manufacturers
- Capacitor Manufacturers
- Transformer Manufacturers
- Electrical equipment Manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 60247- Insulating liquids?
Permittivity, tan δ and resistivity, either separately or together, are important indicators of the intrinsic quality and degree of contamination of an insulating fluid. These parameters may be used to interpret the deviation from desired dielectric characteristics and the potential influence on the performance of the equipment in which the fluid is used.
BS EN 60247 provides you with the apparatus required for the test and guides you on the preparation of samples. BS EN 60247 guides you on the cleaning solvent required for cleaning the test cell. BS EN 60247 provides you with the conditioning and filling of the test cell.
BS EN 60247 guides you on the measurement dissipation factor, relative permittivity and d.c. resistivity. BS EN 60247 helps you to determine dielectric dissipation factor (tan δ ), relative permittivity and d.c. resistivity that would help in improvement in quality of insulating liquid material.
