Abstract
Some of the factors affecting the dielectric strength of transformer oil are investigated. These factors include the stabilization phenomenon, oil and electrode pretreatment, the effect of oil velocity, the effect of a capacitance parallel to the test cell, and the effects of electrode area and gap spacing. The experimental apparatus and procedure are described, and the results are presented for each of the above factors. Suggestions for future research are offered.<>
