Abstract A series of laboratory-aged transformer insulating papers were investigated using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Carbon-13 CPMAS, and proton MAS experiments were carried out along with static proton relaxation (T1, and T1ρ) and free induction decay (FID) measurements. Some proton CRAMPS and proton-carbon-13 correlation (WISE) experiments were also undertaken. A change in the proton T1 and FID with ageing was detected. No detectable change was found in the proton T1ρ. Some amorphous cellulose was detected in the carbon-13 spectrum. There was, however, no evidence for a substantial change in the nature of the cellulose with ageing. The carbon-13 spectra from some aged samples showed signals not present in the spectrum from an unaged sample. This was taken to be evidence of chemical degradation. Proton MAS and the WISE exeriment gave some information about the nature of the water in the sample.
