Electric field bridging pattern of pre-breakdown and breakdown condition in transformer oil

Transformer is considered as one of the most important equipment in electrical power system networks. However, most problems occurred in transformer were related to the defects and weakness of the insulation systems. The oils used in transformer act as coolant and insulation purposes hence maintaini...
