In this paper, study on the properties of the thermal degradated epoxy resin which is used in cast resin transformer is performed to investigate the problems of the decreasing insulation characteristics and crack in the cast resin transformer. In the test, contact angle, weight loss, surface resistivity and relative dielectric constant are measured. As the results of the above measurements, the epoxy resin has increased to 150$^{\circ}C$ in the contact angle and surface resistivity but at the above 150$^{\circ}C$ the values have decreased. The relative dielectric constants have increased in the thermal treated samples with the degradation temperature. Consequently, the insulation properties of the epoxy resin which is used in cast resin transformer have increased by the 150$^{\circ}C$ but decreased in the above 150$^{\circ}C$.
