expectancy of 50 or even 100 years justifies the need for
technology devices. Insulating materials lose their insulating and cooling properties due to impurities and ageing. The
consequences include damage and failures of equipment and systems, even catastrophic failures resulting in transformer fires and the consequent costs and environmental damage.
The testing of insulating fluids is therefore legally stipulated and regulated through national and international standards. Equally important are the economic reasons for regular testing to include extended lifetime of equipment and
optimal use of insulating oils to achieve enormous potential savings.
