Abstract
Analysis of the dielectric degradation observed in large-volume oil insulation revealed that the phenomenon can be interpreted in terms of an apparent effect of either the electrode area or the stressed volume. A semi-empirical method was developed for quantitative evaluation of the dielectric degradation of large-oil-volume insulation. The method applies the weak-link theory to an oil gap, assuming an apparent effect with a unit element of known breakdown probability distribution determined from experimental data.

Breakdown of Transformer Oil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tried to express the breakdown stress of transformer oil as a function of stressed oil volume, but their results were limited to their respective electrodes, and the latters made it difficult to predict break-down voltage from electrostatic field, as made for air and S F6 gaps.

Effect of impurity particles on transformer oil under normal operating conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic survey was conducted of transformer oil samples taken from operating transformers and reactors used in Hydro-Quebec's transmission system, and it was found that the particle content in the oil follows a distribution of the power function type and that it can be related to the dielectric strength of the oil.
