Paper analyses the impact of fiber- optic temperature sensors installation on dielectric withstand of oil-filled paperless transformer winding insulation. A PVA enamel insulated helical winding models with 3 mm oil channel were built according to technological process of Kolektor Etra and tested in EIMV high-voltage laboratory. AC 50Hz breakdown voltage and partial discharge levels of the winding models with and without optical fibre temperature sensor were measured as well as dissolved gas analyses of the oil samples were made. Experimental results were evaluated and analysed through dielectric study based on finite elements simulation and empirical design guidelines based on partial discharge inception models. Based on these results, paper discusses installation of the fiber-optic temperature sensors in the sandwich construction. Keywords:Fiber-optic temperature sensor, Dielectric withstand, PVA helical winding, Power Transformer
