Testing Adhesive Tape Oil Compatibility

Improve the performance of the transformer with proven materials

Oil filled transformer

The power grid connects power stations, transmission lines and distribution centres to supply electrical power to end users. Transformers are the critical components responsible for converting voltage levels either up or down to transmit electricity to consumers. The lifespan of these transformers is expected to exceed 25 years, and maintaining the integrity of the insulation system within the transformer is essential to achieving that longevity.

With the majority of power and distribution transformers being oil-cooled, Saint-Gobain has tested multiple CHR® Electrical Insulation Tapes to better understand the relationship between our adhesive tapes and oil.

In this white paper you will:

  • Learn the benefits of measuring insulation performance characteristics in oil when introducing a new material
  • Explore the key tests used to determine oil quality and the interaction of oil with adhesive tape
  • Understand the results for both high and low aromatic oil on Saint-Gobain tested tapes

Discover the relationship between CHR Specialty Adhesive Tapes and the oil used to power our society. After submitting the form on the right, please allow 1–2 working days for white paper delivery to your email address.
