Victor Sokolov
Outlook
Reliability of new and service aged insulation is
determined by dielectric strength of the oil
Moisture remains a critical reliability factor in aged
equipment. Bound water with years is coming
as potential enemy
Oil by-products Impact on degradation of insulation
systems .Trapping Effect of electrical field
Oil by-products dramatically accelerate thermal insulation
Decomposition processes
PF & conductivity of oil determine dielectric characteristics

Looks like wet insulation
Conclusion
Reliability of new and service aged insulation is
determined by dielectric strength of the oil
Oil relative saturation and particles are main factors
Determinated short term reliability
Aging water and Bound water in oil with years is coming
as potential enemy
Oil by-products Impact on degradation of insulation
systems
Conclusion
Its a time to reconsider oil classification of the basis
of operating temperature range
It s time to reconsider oil diagnostic characteristics
