Megger OTS60PB Oil Tester – Portable Liquid Dielectric Breakdown Testing
The Megger OTS60PB is a robust and versatile member of the Megger OTS PB series, designed to deliver fully automatic dielectric breakdown testing of insulating liquids. As one of the most advanced portable oil test sets on the market, it provides both laboratory-grade precision and on-site convenience. Whether you need to confirm transformer oil quality in the field or carry out scheduled laboratory testing, the Megger OTS60PB Oil Tester ensures you can perform accurate breakdown and withstand tests with confidence.
Precision Breakdown Testing
With a maximum test voltage of 60 kV, the Megger Oil Tester is built to evaluate insulating fluids’ ability to withstand electric stress. This is critical for identifying contaminants such as water or conducting particles that lower dielectric strength and compromise reliability. The precision test vessel, combined with lockable electrode gap adjustment and flat gap gauges, sets the industry standard for repeatability.
Continuous monitoring of oil temperature ensures compliance with international oil test standards before each test sequence begins. This guarantees that samples are tested under correct conditions, reducing errors and increasing confidence in results.
↓ Reliable oil testing, wherever the job takes you.
↓ Engineered for accuracy, designed for clarity.
Ease of Use and Safety
Designed with the user in mind, the Megger OTS60PB Oil Tester features a high-visibility test chamber, intuitive menu navigation, and a protective lid with redundant micro-switches. The transparent shield allows operators to view stirring and breakdown events in real time, while the chamber incorporates an easy-clean surface and a drain for spilt oil routed safely to the rear of the instrument.
Safety is paramount: test voltage is always controlled to the maximum using dual redundant HV cut-off circuitry. Any button press immediately aborts a test, ensuring operator protection in all environments.
Flexible Data Management
The instrument’s advanced memory system ensures test results are identified either by a serial number or asset ID and are time and date stamped for full traceability. A durable internal printer provides instant hard copies, while results can also be exported to a USB stick or external printer. For laboratories, the optional barcode scanner streamlines sample identification, improving workflow.
Portable and Rugged
At less than 17 kg, the Megger OTS60PB portable oil test set is among the lightest in its class. It can operate from mains supply or its rechargeable NiMH battery, offering flexibility in the field. A padded carry bag and optional impact-resistant transport case make it easy to move between test locations while protecting both the unit and accessories.
Applications
The Megger OTS60PB Oil Tester is essential for monitoring the condition of insulating oils in transformers and high-voltage equipment. By performing reliable breakdown voltage tests on mineral, ester and silicone insulating liquids, operators can extend asset life and avoid failures. Regular testing with the Megger OTS PB series ensures electrical assets continue to operate safely and efficiently.
