Impact of Oil Properties and Characteristics on Transformer Reliability
Written by Victor V. Sokolov   
Many maintenance guides still consider the insulating fluid to be a separate component that can be monitored and treated separately from the fluid-paper insulation system or from the transformer as a whole. In fact, the fluid is an integral part of the transformer playing a dynamic role in the condition of the entire system. Dielectric withstands strength of the oil and the level of oil contamination determines the dielectric safety margin of both new and service aged transformer insulation systems.
