Abstract:The dielectric loss of insulating oil is an important index for the quality supervision of power system. The insulating oil dielectric loss tester used in power system is mainly made of Schering bridge. Because there is no standard method to check the accuracy of insulating oil dielectric loss tester,it results in the instruments whose accuracy does not meet the requirements to carry out the test,and the accuracy of measurement results also cannot be guaranteed. In order to solve the problem,an insulating oil dielectric loss calibration device is developed as the standard material,and the calibration method for electric bridge insulating oil dielectric loss tester is studied through indirect method. Finally combining with the calibration examples of two typical electric bridge insulating oil dielectric loss testers,the results show that the measured value is consistent with the indicating value so as to ensure the accuracy of insulating oil dielectric loss test data.
