Zusammenfassung:Transformer oil is a liquid insulating material used in transformers as insulation and coolant. Particular characteristics insulating oil materials must be able to withstand breakdown voltages, while transformer oil as a coolant must be able to minimize heat generated, so that transformer oil is expected to protect the transformer from disturbances with these two characteristics. In order to reduce the percentage of transformer failures, it is necessary to maintain the purity of the oil. The features of aged transformer oil and pure transformer oil are investigated in this study. Pure transformer oil is heated to a particular temperature and cycled to create samples of aged transformer oil. The electric field intensity of transformer oil is measured to estimate the dielectric strength of aged transformer oil. FEM analysis is used to determine the intensity of an electric field. At aging temperatures of 130°C and 150°C, the dielectric characteristics of transformer oil for both Shell Diala and Triapar types are investigated. As a result, not only the electrical characteristics but also the effects of thermal aging on the physical and chemical properties of transformer oil are reported in this study.
