Impact of DBDS and Silver Sulfide on the Performance of Thermally Aged Mineral oil Impregnated Pressboard Material

The corrosive sulfur compounds present in the mineral oil causes the formation of dibenzyl disulfide (DBDS) complex and it can also erode the on-load tap changing selector contacts leading to generation of silver sulfide (AgS2).The present work reports the effect of DBDS and Ag2S concentrations in mineral oil on thermally aged pressboard material.T
