Abstract
This paper reviews briefly the history of paper and pressboard insulation being used for electric insulation of oil immersed power transformers. An introduction to today's insulation technique is given. Important details of materials selection, as well as drying, clamping and oil impregnation procedures required to achieve short-circuit resistant windings are explained. Aging effects are described, as they gradually weaken the solid insulation mechanically and electrically. The value of post-mortem analysis of transformers before scrapping is shown with examples. A list of factors important for the manufacturing and operation of reliable transformers, yet often neglected, completes this article.
