On the Mineral and Vegetal Oils Used as Electroinsulation in Transformers
Abstract
Due to the relatively large availability and reduced
price, the mineral transformer oils are widely used as electrical
insulating liquids. However, mineral oil drastically degrades over time
in service. New efforts were made to improve mineral oils
characteristics, and other types of liquids like vegetal oils are
proposed. This paper deals with new comparative tests on mineral and
vegetal oils using as indicator the electric strength. The samples of
non-additive mineral oil type TR 30 and vegetal oils of rape, sunflower
and corn have been tested with increasing voltage of 60 Hz using
different electrodes. The obtained data have been statistical processed.
The analyze shows different average values of electrical strength for
the different type of sample. New method of testing through electrical
breakdown is proposed. Experimental data confirms that it is possible to
use as electroinsulation organic vegetal oils in power
transformers.
