Abstract
The presence of Corrosive sulphur in mineral transformer oil affects the performance of insulation system of transformers. In this paper results of experimental investigations carried out on voltage current characteristics and insulation resistance of paper oil insulation in presence of copper sulphide are presented and discussed. A model for copper sulphide migration is proposed to explain the increase in leakage current and reduction in insulation resistance. Existence of two regions in voltagecurrent characteristics, one dependent on the insulation properties of paper oil insulation and other due to semi-conducting copper sulphide is discussed and explained.
