The article discusses the issue of corrosive sulfur in mineral insulating oils, which can cause failures in power transformers and on-load tap changers (OLTC) due to the formation of electro-conductive sulfides. It highlights the problem of copper and silver sulfide formation, particularly after oil reclamation processes, and the inefficiency of metal passivators in mitigating silver corrosion.
