Abstract
In order to analyze the ageing mechanism of oil-paper, the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which is one of the important instruments in nanometer area, was used in this paper for the analysis of the micro surface morphology, and a 3-D surface roughness analysis on the AFM image was presented. The AFM figures indicates that the molecular arrangement of the initial cellulose paper is close and ordered, some of the hexagonal mesh structures of the D-glucopyranose units were broken down after 100 days accelerated thermal ageing. The roughness analysis indicates that he fiber surface roughness parameter Sa increases with the deepening of ageing degree. Special attention should be paid on the increase in the surface roughness of insulation paper, as it will aggravate the oil streaming electrification when the paper is applied to the power transformers.
