Influence of different parameters as water content, temperature and aging on DF
Figure 4-5 shows the breakdown voltage and the DF in oil, dependent on the water content
[1]
. With low
water content, the breakdown voltage is very sensitive; with higher water content, the DF is a good
indicator.

Figure 4-6 shows the DF of new and used oil, dependent on the temperature. With higher temperatures,
the viscosity of the oil decreases so the particles, ions and electrons can move easier and faster. Thus
the DF increases with temperature.
