Research on the Influence of Moisture in the Solid Insulation Impregnated with an Innovative Bio-Oil on AC Conductivity Used in the Power Transformers by Pawel Zukowski, Konrad Kierczynski, Przemyslaw Rogalski, Pawel Okal, Marek Zenker, Rafal Pajak, Marek Szrot, Pawel Molenda, Tomasz N. Koltunowicz

“…It was found that the shapes of the recalculated curves and their position relative to the coordinates depend only on the moisture content in the composite. The equality of the activation energy of the relaxation time and conductivity established in the study, as well as their independence from frequency and moisture content in the pressboard impregnated with NYTRO^® BIO 300X bio-oil, allows for recalculating the curves of electrical parameters determined at any operating temperatures of the transformer to a reference temperature, for example, 20 °C. …”
