IEC EN 60588-2 Askarels for Transformers and Capacitors

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60588-2 testing. This part of the standard describes the test methods to be used to test the properties of used and unused ascarel for transformers and capacitors.

This method describes a procedure for visual inspection of askarels. Using this method, the color of an askarel sample can be estimated and the presence of turbidity, foreign particles and other suspended matter detected.

The color of the sample is estimated by comparing a given thickness of the sample to a set of glass color standards on a given comparator. The presence of turbidity, foreign particles and suspended matter is detected by observing the sample in reflected light.

Quantitative determination of the volume of hydrocarbons in oiled askarel is important for controlling the degree of contamination and is a way of determining when the fire resistance of this fluid has deteriorated to such an extent that it has deteriorated.

Since the amount of chloride determined in normal askarels is very low, extreme care should be taken in the cleaning and transportation of all apparatus. Glassware should be finally rinsed with reactive water and should not be touched with hands afterwards. The test should be performed in an area where the atmosphere is free from polluting effects. The value obtained on the blank will indicate how satisfactory the medium, reagents and glassware are for such tests.
