What is BS 6522 - Measurement of percentage water saturation of insulating oil about?
BS 6522 describes a method of test for the determination of the percentage water saturation of insulating oil. Method and apparatus described in BS 6522 enables the percentage saturations of oil to be determined at temperatures up to 60 °C provided the dewpoint does not exceed ambient temperature.
BS 6522 also provides the procedure and apparatus required for the test.
Who is BS 6522 - Measurement of percentage water saturation of insulating oil for?
BS 6522 on measurement of percentage water saturation of insulating oil is useful for:
- Electrical engineer
- Manufacturer of cables and wires
- Manufacturer of insulators
- Manufacturer of heavy electrical equipment
- Manufacturer of electrical appliances
Why should you BS 6522 - Measurement of percentage water saturation of insulating oil?
Insulating oil is use to provide electric as well as thermal insulation to an equipment. Insulating oils also provide diffusion of heat and gasses emitted during operation of the equipment.
BS 6522 provides you with best practice guidelines for measurement of water saturation in insulating oil, which if not monitored can cause damage through formation of water vapour or in inflammable gasses like hydrogen.
BS 6522 can help the maintenance team to keep a close eye to prevent any damage that could be caused due to water saturating of insulating oil.
