    Abstract

    Ageing assessment of transformer paper insulation is commonly conducted through measurement of different chemical indicators in oil such as carbon oxide gases and furanic compounds [1]. Apart from these conventional paper ageing indicators, recent research success has shown that methanol and ethanol in transformers can also be used to indicate the degradation of transformer paper insulation [2].
