The screen test is a collection of physical, electrical, and chemical tests for transformer oil. Typically, a 1 liter sample of oil is collected. No single test alone will indicate the true condition of the liquid, so it is suggested all be performed. The group of tests include:

  • Dielectric Breakdown: A physical test that measures the breakdown voltage of an insulation liquid and indicates the presence of contaminating agents.
  • Interfacial Tension: This test of electrical insulating fluids is an indicator of the presence of polar compounds.
  • Color: Oil color indicates aging and presence of contaminants.
  • Acidity: As acid values increase (usually due to oxidation of the oil) the insulating quality of the oil decreases.
  • Power Factor (dissipation factor): This test measures the dielectric losses in the liquid, hence the amount of energy dissipated as heat
