IEEE Industry Applications and Power Delivery Transactions should be useful resources, although plan on searching the last 30 years or so. It's not exactly a cutting-edge subject.

Doble Engineering company issues a yearly report of failure analysis of many types of eletrical equipment, such as transformers, MV switches & C/Bs, LAs, bushings, etc., broken done by manufacturer and model and cause of faliure.
I'm not sure about availablity for people who don't lease their test equipment, though.
