2 F OR YOUR SAFETY

All BAUR devices and systems are manufactured according to the state of the art and are
safe to operate. The individual parts and the finished devices are subject to continuous
testing by our qualified personnel as part of our quality assurance system. Each device and
system is tested before delivery.
However, the operational safety and reliability in practice can be achieved only when all
necessary measures have been taken. The responsible body1 and operator2 of the device or
system are responsible for planning these measures and monitoring their implementation.
Make sure that the responsible body and persons working with the device or system have
carefully read through and understood the user manual for the DTA 100 C, as well as the
user manuals for all associated devices, before starting work.
The responsible body and operator of the device or system are responsible for any injuries
or damage resulting from non-compliance with this user manual.

2.1 Instructions to the user

The product may only be operated by authorised and trained electrical engineers. An
electrical engineer is a person who, owing to his professional education (electrical
engineering), knowledge, experience and familiarity with the applicable standards and
regulations, can assess the tasks assigned to him and detect possible dangers.
In addition, the user must have:
 Knowledge of the technical equipment and operation of the DTA 100 C
 Knowledge of the testing and measurement procedures
 Knowledge of the electrical insulating materials, in particular the insulating oil, and how
to handle them.

1 Responsible body is the person or group that is responsible for the safe operation of the device and its
maintenance (EN 61010-1, 3.5.12).
2 Operator is the person who uses the device for its intended purpose (according to the definition of user in
compliance with EN 61010-1, 3.5.11).

822-129-8 9 / 90
For your safety DTA 100 C

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:
 Local safety and accident prevention regulations
 Employers’ liability insurance association regulations (if any)

Technically secure state of the product

Safety, function and availability depend on the proper condition of the product. Upgrades,
modifications or alterations to the product are essentially prohibited.
 Operate the product only in a technically perfect condition.
 In the event of damage or malfunctions, take the product out of operation immediately,
mark it accordingly and have the faults rectified by appropriately qualified and authorised
personnel.
 Comply with the inspection and maintenance conditions.
 Use only accessories and original spare parts recommended by BAUR. The use of spare
parts, accessories and special fittings that are not tested and approved by BAUR could
adversely affect the safety, function and characteristics of the product.
 Never take apart the product. Inside the product there are no components that could be
serviced or repaired by the user.

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

10 / 90 822-129-8
DTA 100 C For your safety

temperature, the cold device surfaces cool the air in the immediate vicinity, which leads to
formation of condensation even inside the device.
In this process, two factors are crucial:
 The higher the relative air humidity, the faster the dew point is reached and water is
condensed.
 The higher the temperature difference between the surfaces and the ambient air, the
stronger the tendency for condensation.
 Always prevent condensation in devices. Temper the device and system before and
during the measurements so that no condensation occurs.

No operation in areas with risk of explosion and fire

Measurements in direct contact with water, in environments with explosive gases and in
areas with fire risks are not permitted.

Cleanliness of oil breakdown voltage tester

To achieve reliable measurement results, the oil breakdown voltage tester, the test chamber,
the HV isolators, the test containers and all tools that come into contact with the oil must be
clean.
BAUR GmbH recommends cleaning the HV isolators at least once a year to guarantee
maximum accuracy.
HV isolators may be cleaned only by qualified technical staff authorised by BAUR.
In case of questions, please contact BAUR GmbH or your local BAUR representative
(http://www.baur.eu/baur-worldwide).

Lifting and carrying the oil breakdown voltage tester

 The DTA 100 C oil breakdown voltage tester weighs up to 39 kg. It is recommended to
seek the help of another person to lift or carry the device.

2.3.1 Dangers when working with electric voltage

A dangerous voltage of up to 100 kV is generated during measurements with the
DTA 100 C. Operating personnel need to pay special attention and must be very careful
while working with electric voltage.

DANGER

NOTICE

Measurement errors caused by improper sampling and handling of the oil

sample
Improper sampling and handling of the oil sample can have a strong influence on the
measurement results which can lead to incorrect conclusions being drawn regarding
the quality of the insulating oil.
 The sampling must only be performed by experienced, qualified personnel.
 Follow the instructions for sampling below.

822-129-8 29 / 90
Commissioning DTA 100 C

7.7.1 Instructions for sampling

Important: In order to achieve reliable measurement results, all devices, containers and
tools that come into contact with the oil must be clean.

 Follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety instructions for the relevant sampling
container or electrical device.
 When sampling, ensure you follow the instructions given in the relevant standard.
 Only take oil samples during dry weather. Avoid sampling during rain or if it is very
humid. High humidity adversely affects the measurement results.
 Remove any impurities at the sampling port (e.g. on the transformer) and in the sampling
container.
 Use separate sampling containers for each oil type.
 Take the sample during regular operation of the electrical equipment.
 Once the oil samples have been received by the laboratory, they must be left to stand in
the room for approximately 24 hours in order for any bubbling to subside and for the oil
to adjust to the room temperature.
 Protect the sample against moisture and solar radiation.
 Condensation adversely affects the measurement results. To prevent condensation,
ensure that the temperature of the oil to be tested corresponds to the ambient
temperature of 20°C ± 5°C before measuring.
 Heat the sampling container to above the ambient temperature.
Note: Some standards stipulate maintaining specific temperature conditions during the
measurement process. Further information: Chapter Overview of standards (on page 44)

Further information on sampling, handling the oil sample and cleaning can be
found in the current version of each of the following standards:
 IEC 60475
 IEC 60156

BAUR ITS Lite software for measurement data management DTA 100 C

14 BAUR ITS L ITE SOFTWARE FOR MEASUREMENT DATA

MANAGEMENT

The BAUR ITS Lite software is used to read measurement results and to design and archive
measurement logs of the BAUR DTA 75 C, DTA 100 C and DTL C insulating oil testers.

14.1 Description of function

Reading of measurement logs from BAUR insulating oil testers and archiving with ITS Lite
takes place automatically.
To read the measurement logs, start ITS Lite and define the save and print settings. The
following settings are available in ITS Lite:
 Language selection for measurement logs. Both the software interface and user manual
are displayed in the selected language.
 Save format selection for measurement logs: PDF or as a text file (*.TXT).
 Integrate logo or header in PDF measurement logs.
Now you only need to connect one or more insulating oil tester to the PC on which ITS Lite
will run. If measurement logs already exist in the device memory of a connected insulating oil
tester, ITS Lite will read the logs as soon as a connection is established between the
insulating oil tester and the PC. These measurement logs will be saved in the predefined
storage location (path) according to the settings, but will not be printed.
When a connected insulating oil tester completes a new measurement, the measurement
data is automatically transmitted to ITS Lite and is processed as follows:
 A measurement log is generated automatically from the received measurement data and
is saved in PDF format and/or as a text file (*.TXT) in the predefined storage location.
 If the Print option is enabled, the measurement log is printed on the selected printer.
The measurement log contains the following details:
 Information on the insulating oil tester (device type, serial number, firmware version),
 Measurement time (date and time),
 Sample number and name of measurement log,
 Measurement parameters and measured values,
 Measurement diagram with the graphical display of the test voltage (DTA 75 C and
DTA 100 C) or with the graphical display of the measured tan δ values (DTL C), as
required.
