Intoduction:

Insulating oil being an efficient cooling medium with high dielectric strength has been a recognized insulating medium in electrical equipments. Degradation of oil takes place due to acids, oxidation, sludge, gas and water absorption. A dielectric strength test shows the changes caused in oil due to these processes. 'UDEY' Series DOT insulating oil testers are designed to meet dielectric testing specifications in all parts of the world. They are self-contained, compact and portable, offering easy and accurate measurement of the breakdown voltage of insulating oils used in transformers, switchgears, circuit breakers, bushings, capacitors, and other electrical apparatus. Safe and easy operation has made 'UDEY' insulating oil testers the industry standard for over 47 years.

Control And Indicators:

UDEY insulating oil tester 'DOT series' has all the controls and indicators located on a front panel with clear and easy to understand legends. The output regulator (variable auto transformer) supplying voltage to the high voltage transformer is driven by a reversible motor. When HV is switched on, the output voltage rises @ the rate selected till breakdown when the output voltage falls and the output regulator returns to its minimum position. The output voltage can be held at any level.

H T Transformer:

The HT transformer is a low distortion, completely dry, resin encapsulated transformer with two HV terminals with mounting saddles. The midpoint of transformer HV winding is grounded so that the voltage of each terminal to earth is only half the test voltage.

Meter:

Bright and clear 3 Digit LED display kV meter in the primary of the HV transformer is calibrated in terms of the HV available at the secondary of the HV transformer. The meter is calibrated by means of actual measurement on an electrostatic HV meter and not by mere transformer turns ratio. kV meter memory circuit locks the reading at breakdown and continuous to display the reading till it is reset.

Standard Accessories:

1. 3 core mains cord, 2 meter long.
2. Test cell TC-2 with electrodes.
3. 2.5 mm GO & NOGO gauge.
4. Operating manual.

Optional:

Test cell with suitable electrodes :

1. TC-1: Same as TC-2 but with 12,7 mm (0,5 in.) dia spherical electrodes.
2. TC-3: Same as TC-2 but with 25,4 mm (1 in.) dia flat electrodes.
3. Input:120V, 60Hz, 1ph

Safety:

Maximum possible safety of the operator as well as the equipment is ensured by a safety conscious design. The output controller is interlocked at its minimum position so that HV can be switched ON only when it is at zero and the hood is shut. The output controller is also interlocked at its maximum position to avoid overriding of output drive. The output is automatically brought to minimum after every test / breakdown. The hood leading to HV terminals has a safety switch fitted so that opening of the hood shuts the HV off.

Indicator Lamps:

POWER ON >>>>>> START >>>>>> FAIL / RESET >>>>>>

Cabinet:

Portable, powder coated, sheet steel with rubber feet and lifting handles.

Test Cell - TC - 2:
