Abstract

The combination of a solid and a liquid insulation is the most frequently used insulating system in high voltage transformers, where components have to be insulated and loss . heat has to be dissipated. The requirements on the liquid part of the insulating system are not only the electric and dielectric , performance but also the performance regarding environmental requirements and dehydration capability as well as low inflammability. The contribution presents a comparison of the ' performance of natural and synthetic ester as an alternative to mineral oil.
