6、 grounded sphere(NPS).TheNPS breakdown voltage of fresh unused oils measured in thehighly divergent field in this configuration depends on oilcomposition,decreasing with increasing concentration ofaromatic,particularly polyaromatic,hydrocarbon molecules.3.2 This test method may be used to evaluate t
7、he continuityof composition of an oil from shipment to shipment.The NPSimpulse breakdown voltage of an oil can also be substantiallylowered by contact with materials of construction,by serviceaging,and by other impurities.Test results lower than thoseexpected for a given fresh oil may also indicate
8、use orcontamination of that oil.3.3 Although polarity of the voltage wave has little or noeffect on the breakdown strength of an oil in uniform fields,polarity does have a marked effect on the breakdown voltage ofan oil in nonuniform electric fields.3.4 Transient voltages may also vary over a wide r
