Abstract :
In this paper, the theme of ageing and remnant insulation life is addressed from the viewpoint of the power equipment user. Aspects of the theme are developed, using as examples the oil impregnated paper insulating systems of power transformers. Other insulating systems are briefly reviewed using equipment of common use in a power utility as examples. Finally some major challenges for the future are given, particularly in relation to insulation research priority and methodology
