17.2 Error messages and corrective measures
Output voltage lies
outside tolerance
range! Measurement
cancelled.
Impaired measurement
conditions
Repeat the measurement.
Conduct a reference measurement, e. g. with a
specific withstand voltage.
No gap between the
electrodes
Check whether there is a gap between the electrodes.
If the electrodes are touching one another, adjust the
setting to a suitable gap.
Note: If no signal sounds when the electrodes short
circuit, please contact your BAUR representative
(http://www.baur.eu/baur-worldwide).
Test vessel positioned
incorrectly on the
isolators
Check whether the test vessel is seated correctly on
the isolators and contacts and correct the position if
necessary.
Repeat the measurement with another test vessel and
a slightly higher withstand voltage.
Conductive oil sample
due to contamination by
water
Dispose of the contaminated oil sample in an
environmentally friendly manner and in accordance
with the applicable national regulations.
Clean the test vessel with petroleum ether or other
similar mild solvent.
Further information: Chapter Cleaning the oil
breakdown voltage tester (on page 72)
Repeat the measurement with a new oil sample.
Output voltage lies
outside tolerance
range! Continue
anyway?
(during the spot test,
the measurement is
cancelled in this case)
If you want to continue with the measurement despite
the deviation in the output voltage, select Yes.
The measurement will be continued. The
corresponding measured values will be identified with
an asterisk in the measurement log.
Impaired measurement
conditions
Repeat the measurement.
Conduct a reference measurement, e. g. with a
specific withstand voltage.
The oil breakdown
voltage tester is not
clean
Clean the oil breakdown voltage tester.
Further information: Chapter Cleaning the oil
breakdown voltage tester (on page 72)
The test vessel is not
clean
Clean the test vessel with petroleum ether or other
similar mild solvent.
Further information: Chapter Cleaning the oil
breakdown voltage tester (on page 72)
HV isolators are not
clean
HV isolators may be cleaned only by qualified
technical staff authorised by BAUR.
In case of questions, please contact BAUR GmbH or
your local BAUR representative
(http://www.baur.eu/baur-worldwide).
Relative permittivity of
the oil sample is too high
Check the relative permittivity of the oil sample.
The relative permittivity ε
r
must be less than 30.
