    Transformer Mineral Insulating Oil Condition

    Oil and other insulating liquids suffer from electrical and mechanical stresses
    while a transformer is in operation. In addition there are contaminations caused
    due to chemical interactions with windings and other solid insulations,
    catalyzed by high operating temperature. As a result the original chemical
    properties of transformer oil changes gradually, rendering it ineffective for its
    intended purpose after many years.

    Hence this oil has to be periodically tested to ascertain its basic electrical
    properties, and make sure it is suitable for further use or initiate necessary
    actions like filtration/regeneration. Transformer Oil is not only subject to its own
    degradation, but is also a carrier of gasses emanated during arcing or flashovers
    between paper and winding insulations.
    Transformer Oil Testing and Analysis provides important information
    regarding any such incipient faults, without the need to pull down the
    equipment from its running condition.

    IEC standard on transformer oil was issued as IEC Pub 296 in 1969 and later
    revised in 1982 and in 2003 (Third Edition) as IEC 60296:2003 'Fluids for Electro-
    technical Applications-Unused Mineral Insulating Oils for transformers and
    switchgear' to reflect the progress in industry and experience gained so far.
