In this project some practices of mineral oil were made to determine the quality for its application in the electrical industry. Then the practices were developed in the laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Universidad Veracruzana using the Megger OTS 60 PB equipment, according to the current IEC 60156 and ASTM D1816 standards, new oil was used in a first analysis which proved to be of correct quality according to the standard, In the second case, oil polluted by the environment was used and it was of less quality since it did not pass the test according to the standard, and finally, degraded oil was used, which was less quality (15°C) and heat was supplied up to 40°C, taking readings at 40°C, 35°C, 30°C and 25°C, giving favorable results due to the influence of the temperature on the mineral oil. In conclusion, according to the results of the test and the comparison with the parameters of the standards, the OTS60PB equipment operates correctly and the results of the equipment are reliable and it can be recommended that mineral oil can be used in transformers.
