Silicone rubber composites play a crucial role in transformer bushing insulation, but prolonged exposure to mineral oil can degrade their properties. This talk examines the impact of oil exposure on RTV silicone rubber and its composites, focusing on changes in mechanical, electrical, and thermal performance. It highlights the importance of advanced material characterization techniques, including SEM, 3D microscopy, shore hardness testing, BDV, PTI, TGA, DTA, IR thermography, IPT-E (IEC 60587), FTIR, and EDAX, in assessing silicone rubber composites in oil-exposed high-voltage environments and provides insights into enhancing their durability for transformer applications.
