2.2 Intended use
The powerful BAUR DTA 100 C oil breakdown voltage tester automatically measures the
electrical breakdown strength of insulating liquids fully.
Note: With the DTA 100 C you can test insulating liquids with tan δ values < 4.5 and specific
resistance ρ > 30 MΩm.
If the device is used without observing this condition, safe operation cannot be guaranteed.
The operator or user is liable for any damage to persons and property resulting from
incorrect operation.
Proper use also includes
Compliance with all instructions in this user manual,
Compliance with the technical data and connection requirements given on the rating
plate and in the user manual,
Compliance with the inspection and maintenance tasks.
2.3 Avoid dangers, take safety measures
When operating the DTA 100 C, observe the following rules and guidelines:
Accident prevention and environment protection rules applicable for your country
Safety instructions and regulations of the country where the DTA 100 C is being
used (according to the latest version)
Any relevant national and international standards and guidelines in the latest
applicable version:

No operation with condensation
Condensation can form in devices and systems due to temperature fluctuations and high air
humidity, which in some components can lead from leakage currents and flashovers up to
short-circuit.
Maximum danger arises when relatively high air humidity and temperature fluctuations occur
in a device consecutively, e.g. which is the case when storing the device in an unheated
room or when placed outdoors. When the device is then exposed to a high ambient
