Study of aging products of transformer oil using scanning electron microscopy

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Solid components contained in aged GK-type transformer oil are studied employing scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy-dispersion spectroscopy. The composition and properties of sulfur compounds are shown to change markedly in the oil-performance process, including conversion of non-corrosive compounds to corrosive ones.
