Abstract
A set of moisture equilibrium charts applicable to transformer insulation is presented. These may be used for the estimation of dryness levels in transformer insulation during the preparative and operational stages, and also during storage. A critique on the well known Piper chart is provided. Techniques to construct equilibrium curves for the combined paper-oil system from indirect measurements are outlined, and the interpretation of these curves for practical situations is discussed.

Moisture equilibrium in paper-oil insulation systems

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the water content of the paper and of the oil is used to predict the changes in temperature of power transformers with a paper-oil insulating system, and the isotherms are obtained experimentally or more easily by combining known absorption curves for paper and oil.

Moisture Equilibrium Between Gas Space and Fibrous Materials in Enclosed Electric Equipment

TL;DR: In this article, an inert gas medium is used to provide an inert medium by which the pressure at the surface of the transformer fluid is kept slightly above atmospheric, and the fluid is not exposed to the moisture and oxygen of the air, as it is with the so-called open-breather or oil-conservator types unless the latter communicate with the outside atmosphere through chemical agents.
