Transformer Insulation Materials and Ageing
1.1 Introduction
The primary and secondary coils of a transformer are the key components in performing its basic function of transforming voltage and current. Materials are used to insulate the primary and secondary coils. In transformers, in addition to the primary and secondary coils, there are several other important components and accessories. The insulating material is one of the most critical components of a transformer. Sufficient insulation between different active parts of the transformer is necessary for its safe operation. Adequate insulation is not only necessary to isolate coils from one another, or from the core and tank, but also ensures the safety of the transformer against accidental overâvoltages.
The insulation system in a transformer can be categorized as follows.
- Major insulation:
- â between core and lowâvoltage (LV) winding;
- â between LV and highâvoltage (HV) winding;
- â between top and bottom of winding and yoke;
- â between HV and tank;
- â bushings.
- Minor insulation:
- â between conductors;
- â between turns;
- â between layers;
- â between laminations;
- â between joints and connections.
The insulation material commonly used between the grounded core and the LV coil to ground, and also between HV and LV coils, is oilâimpregnated solid pressboard. Solid insulation, including pressboard or paper, can have small internal air voids. This reduces the insulating strength of the solid insulation as well as reducing its heat dissipation capacity. When transformer oil is used to impregnate solid insulation, the voids are filled with oil, resulting in an improvement of both the insulation strength and the heat dissipation capacity of the solid insulation. In larger transformers, celluloseâbased paper tape is usually wrapped over individual conductors. Layerâtoâlayer or discâtoâdisc insulation is mostly provided by oilâimpregnated Kraft paper or even thick pressboard or transformer board in case of higherârating transformers.
1.2 Solid Insulation â Paper, Pressboard
The solid insulation materials widely used in the transformer are paper, pressboard, and transformer board, which are formed from the cellulose found in plants. Cellulose insulation with mineral oil has played a major role as the main insulation system for transformers for a very long time. Cellulose paper, tapes, and cloths have also been widely used. They provide excellent dielectric strength and low dielectric loss, and hence impregnated paper is now widely accepted as the insulation pillar of the electricity industry. Paper and pressboard insulation derived from pure cellulose have an excellent capacity for being impregnated with oil, thereby improving their insulation properties many times over. In addition, such solid insulating materials are easy to mold and wrap around coils, and can be made of various dimensions as per requirements.
The main concern with using dry paper as an insulating material is that it is very hygroscopic (i.e., it readily absorbs moisture). In order to overcome this deficiency, it must be dried and treated (impregnated) in some liquid (oil, varnish, resins) to reduce moisture ingress and maintain its dielectric strength. Such treatments fill the spaces between fibers and increase the dielectric strength. Nowadays, other synthetic insulating materials are used to insulate areas where the operating temperature is designed to be high (hybrid insulation), or for entire transformers specially designed to operate at high temperatures (artificial polymer â e.g., Aramid paper). Max Schaible summarized several lists of desirable qualities of highâvoltage insulation, as shown in Table 1.1.

1.2.1 Cellulose Structure
Natural cellulose comes from plants. Paper and pressboard insulation is generally made from a âKraftâ process. The typical composition of unbleached softwood Kraft is as follows:
75â85% | cellulose |
10â20% | hemicelluloses |
2â6% | lignin |
<0.5% | inorganic |
The structures of glucose and cellulose are shown in Figures 1.1 and 1.2.
