Executive Oil testing laboratory

Role & responsibilities

The Executive Oil Testing Laboratory is responsible for carrying out routine, type, investigative, and quality control testing of insulating oils used in EHV/UHV instrument transformers, bushings, capacitors, and other high-voltage equipment.
The role ensures compliance with applicable standards, maintains laboratory quality systems, supports failure analysis, and provides timely and accurate test reports for manufacturing, quality assurance, and customer requirements.
Perform physical, chemical, and electrical testing of insulating oils as per applicable standards and internal procedures.
Conduct tests such as: Dielectric Breakdown Voltage (BDV) Moisture Content (Karl Fischer) Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) Tan Delta (Dissipation Factor) Specific Resistance (Resistivity) Interfacial Tension (IFT). Prepare oil samples ensuring contamination-free handling.
Operate, maintain, and calibrate laboratory instruments. Record test observations and prepare accurate laboratory reports.
Verify compliance of test results with IEC, IS, ASTM, and customer specifications.
Support root cause analysis of oil-related quality issues and equipment failures. Monitor laboratory consumables, chemicals, gases, and reference standards.
Ensure traceability of samples and maintain laboratory documentation. Maintain laboratory housekeeping and comply with safety and environmental requirements.
Participate in internal audits, NABL/ISO 17025 activities (where applicable), and quality improvement initiatives.
Coordinate with production, QA, design, service, and customers regarding testing requirements. Support development and validation of new testing methods.
Ensure timely reporting of abnormal results and recommend corrective actions.
