Review of Physicochemical-Based Diagnostic Techniques for Assessing Insulation Condition in Aged Transformers

Review of Physicochemical-Based Diagnostic Techniques for Assessing Insulation Condition in Aged Transformers

A power transformer outage has a dramatic financial consequence not only for electric power systems utilities but also for interconnected customers. The service reliability of this important asset largely depends upon the condition of the oil-paper insulation. Therefore, by keeping the qualities of...
