4.1 Standard Test Description
The DTS60A includes the most common international standards for testing insulating oil. Upon
selecting a standard test from the Test Menu, the user interface proceeds to the start screen for the
test, awaiting user interaction to proceed.
When the test is finished, the system prompts the user for a printout of the results. The results are
also stored in the history memory for download at a later time. The system retains the results for
the last 50 tests.
All of the tests follow the following format, including the acronym for each step in parentheses:
1. User verification of electrode spacing and electrode type
2. Initial wait period to let oil settle (Start Up Wait Time - SWT)
3. Initial stirrer active period during the initial wait period (Start Up Stir Time - SST)
4. Individual Test Stage
1. Predefined increase of voltage
2. Breakdown Detection Enabled (or time out with no breakdown at max voltage)
3. After Breakdown Detect Wait Time period (ABDWT)
4. After Breakdown Detect Stirrer Time period (ABDST)
5. After Breakdown Next Stage Type (ABDSTG)
6. Store Stage Breakdown Voltage
The following standards are included with the instrument:
1. ASTM D1816/12 - USA
2. ASTM D877/13 - USA
3. IEC 156/95 - International
4. IEC 156/63 - International
5. ASTM D1816/84 - USA
6. ASTM D877/87 - USA
7. UTE C27-221/74 - France
8. CEI 10-1/73 - Italy
9. VDE 370 – P5/92 - Germany
10. IRAM 2341/72 - Argentina
11. RVHP 1985 - Russia
