Abstract

Abstract This study examines thermal ageing effects on transformer oil’s acidity and water content using an innovative exponential regression approach. Mineral oil samples were aged at 80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C, and 140 °C for 5000 hours, with properties measured at 500-hour intervals. Results reveal temperature-dependent degradation, showing accelerated deterioration above 100 °C. The exponential model achieved strong correlations (R² > 90%) for both acidity and water content, demonstrating its effectiveness in predicting oil ageing. These findings provide valuable insights for transformer condition assessment and maintenance planning, highlighting the model’s potential for practical application in power system reliability management. The research establishes clear relationships between thermal stress, chemical degradation, and measurable oil properties, offering a robust framework for transformer health monitoring.
