Thus, this study was conducted to verify the influence of Low Molecular Acid (LMA) and High Molecular Acid (HMA) on the breakdown voltage of transformer insulating oil. Different weight of LMA and HMA were added into transformer insulating oil samples and then mixed using hotplate magnetic stirrer at 50C and 750 rpm for 3 hours. Prior to the mixing process, mineral insulating oil samples were filtered, dried and its moisture content were determined according to ASTM D1533 standard test condition. After the mixing process, total acid number (TAN) and AC breakdown voltage (BdV) of the oil mixtures were measured according to standard test conditions of ASTM D974 and ASTM D1816 respectively. The obtained results verified that LMA significantly reduced the breakdown voltage of mineral insulating oil compared to HMA for acidity lower than 1 mg KOH/g. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2020 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85083117992&doi=10.1088%2f1757-899X%2f767%2f1%2f012063&partnerID=40&md5=adc97293c24928df9bc9c3094d2fda00 id_number: 10.1088/1757-899X/767/1/012063 full_text_status: none publication: IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering volume: 767 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 17578981 citation: Chairul, Imran Sutan and Ghani, Sharin Ab and Bakar, Norazhar Abu and Rahim, Nor Hidayah and Ab Aziz, Nur Hakimah (2020) Effect of acids formation on the breakdown voltage properties of transformer insulating oil.
