    Factors contributing to cable oil degradation include:

    Thermal Stress: High operating temperatures accelerate oxidation and chemical breakdown.
    Moisture Ingress: Water contamination reduces dielectric strength and promotes corrosion.
    Oxidation: Exposure to oxygen leads to the formation of acids and sludge.
    Contaminants: Particulate matter and dissolved gases can impair insulating properties.
    Electrical Stress: High electrical fields can cause ionization and molecular degradation of the oil.
    Understanding these factors allows for preventive measures to mitigate degradation.
