transformer oil testing lab

Transformer Oil Testing laboratory is equipped with high precession instruments. On an average, this laboratory analyses about 600 oil samples for various parameters per annum. This Lab has facilities for carrying out tests for In-service Transformer Oils/ Silica Gel as per IS specifications.

The laboratory undertake testing of transformer oil samples of private parties besides those of APGENCO.
