Abstract :
MOISTURE and oxygen in varying amounts are the ever-present enemies to the satisfactory operation of liquid-immersed transformers. The life of the oil and insulation in a transformer cannot be accurately determined by laboratory tests since it is difficult, if not impossible, to make such tests so that they duplicate operating conditions.
