1. Characterization and diagnostics of insulating liquids

Insulating fluid characterization and diagnosis are crucial steps in assessing the efficiency and reliability of electrical equipment. Through this process, any problems or deterioration in the insulating fluid can be identified, which can serve as an indicator of potential faults within the electrical equipment.

Consequently, the representation and classification of insulating liquids is imperative to guarantee their reliability and attest to their condition in electrical equipment housing insulating liquids. As a general rule, the evaluation of insulating liquids depends on various physical, chemical and electrical parameters. The most informative characterization techniques for assessing the condition of insulating liquids involve chemical and electrical testing. These are essential to ensure their proper functioning.

Since the early...
