A Combined Electro-Thermal Breakdown Model for Oil-Impregnated Paper

The breakdown property of oil-impregnated paper is a key factor for converter transformer design and operation, but it is not well understood. In this paper, breakdown voltages of oil-impregnated paper were measured at different temperatures. The results showed that with the increase of temperature,...
