Aging of transformer insulating material in natural ester insulating oil is compared to that in conventional transformer oil. Aging of insulating paper and insulating oil have been studied by performing accelerated thermal aging test. Sealed aging test vessels containing cooper, laminated core, Kraft paper and insulating oil(natural oil or mineral oil) were aged at $140^{\circ}C$ for 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 hours. Insulating oils after aging are investigated with total acid number, breakdown voltage and viscosity. Also, degradation of insulating paper after aging is determined using breakdown voltage and mechanical strength. Accelerated aging studies demonstrate a slower aging rate for natural ester insulating oil compared to the rate for conventional mineral oil.

Insulated oil degradation produces charged by-products, such as acids and hydro-peroxides, which tend to reduce the insulating properties of the oil. In this study, UV-vis spectroscopy measurement technology is developed and experimentally compared with other measurement methods, such as the titration method and IR spectroscopy, to validate its ability to monitor the degradation of electrical insulating paper. The degradation characteristics of the insulating paper are appropriately represented through various types of measurement methods, such as the Tan (delta) method, $CO_2$ gas production measurement, the titration method, and IR spectroscopy. The results are demonstrated to be well comparable to a change in the fluorescence emission ratio (FER), which is defined as the shift in fluorescence intensity in the measured wavelength range, and also to the chromatic ratio, which is defined as a color shift to longer wavelength ranges. The results also show that, by using UV-vis spectroscopy, it is possible to detect the degradation of the insulating paper. This study suggests that UV-vis spectroscopy can be applied as an alternative to high-performance liquid chromatography, which is the internationally recognized measurement technology for cellulose paper degradation. The FER detector is also verified to be useful as an effective condition-monitoring device for power transformers.

In this paper, we investigated the electric field distribution according to the roughness in aramid insulating paper for electric machine. Aramid insulating paper has been used to electric insulating of the traction motor and generators for large capacity. We studied the electric field distribution using boundary element method for Aramid insulating paper. As a result of simulation, the electric field increased according to the surface roughness existence. Electric field decreased due to radius of surface roughness reduction, and Electric field concentration appeared at electrode boundary and rough surface.

The life of power transformer is basically dependent on the aging deterioration of insulating paper. Analysis of insulating paper for its DP value or tensile strength requires removal of a few strips of paper but direct measurement of this properties is not practical for in-service transformers. For this reason furfural analysis by HPLC has gained increasing favor as a means of estimating degradation of insulating papers in power transformers and this paper reports on the analysis of data on the concentration of furfural in oil samples from about 50 power transformers and the case study. The data showed that furfural content can estimate more accurately aging characteristics compared to concentration of CO, $CO_2$. We expect that these results can be useful to predict the aging characteristics and life diagnosis of power transformers and further the study must be continued.

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of Insulating paper, for pole transformers, subjected to accelerated ageing were observed and the results were compared with those of virgin insulating paper. For the experiment, insulating materials for pole transformers were enclosed together in an oil bath and thermally aged under the real pole transformer operating conditions. After the accelerated ageing of the insulating materials, the dielectrics were measured and compared with the results of the virgin ones.

This paper describes for the diagnosis insulating oil for transformers integrity assessment. The high-capacity oil transformer has several insulators are entered for the purpose of insulation, such as insulating oil, insulating paper and press board. Irradiated with a gas component dissolved in the insulating oil can analyze the status of the transformer, and can prevent a sudden accident in advance.

It was known that oil-filled transformer's life depended on insulating paper which was applied to transformers for insulating of transformer. Therefore when paper was aged, its electrical, mechanical and chemical characteristics were changed. Especially if operating temperature was high, paper was quickly damaged. As cellulose paper which was mainly used for solid insulation of transformers was degraded, the cellulose polymer chains broke down into shorter lengths and gases such as CO, $CO_2$, $CH_4$, $C_2H_4$ and so on were produced from paper. Also by-product known as furan compounds were producted from paper and it were dissolved within insulating oil. In this paper accelerating aging cell was aged during 60 hours at 100, 150, 180 and $200^{\circ}C$, respectively, so evaluating the chemical characteristics of cellulose paper by thermal. An it were performed analysis such as tensile strength(TS), dissolved gas analysis(DGA) and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Also for analyzing of correlation between insulating degradation characteristics, it was performed linear regression method as statistical treatment.

The insulating oils perform a cooling and insulation action in electric power transformer. The mineral oil has immanent fire dangerousness and environmental contamination problem. Vegetable insulating oil has higher ignition point, flash point and more excellent biodegradability than conventional mineral oil. In a real oil-filled transformers, some of the power is dissipated in the form of heat. And transformer require the heat to be removed from the winding and insulator by forced convection of the insulating oil. The flow electrification occurs when insulating oil was forced to be circulated. In this paper, influence of temperature, velocity of flow, and insulating pipe and diameter on streaming electrification of vegetable insulating oil was investigated using forced circulation apparatus. Temperature effects were most significant, and it showed a peak in the temperature $30^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$ at insulating and copper pipe. The change of flow electrification according to area variety could be checked by change of diameter.

In this paper, we measured leakage current that produced by static electrification at pressboard and insulating paper. We found that the leakage current increased as temperature increased, as oil velocity increased. The leakage current at pressboard is higher than that of insulating paper.
