 Sampling Of Oil From Oil-Filled
Equipment

It is important to bear in mind that receiving a

qualitative and a representative sample is crucial for
obtaining a reliable diagnosis of the electrical
equipment.
q p Even the most sophisticated
p extraction or
diagnosis methods cannot overcome faulty samples.

 Sampling Of Oil From Oil-Filled
Equipment

Precautions should be taken to deal with any sudden

release of oil and avoid oil spillage when sampling oil.
oil
There are two common methods of sampling of the oil:
• By syringe
• By bottle
