Abstract

The introduction of ester oils replaces existing liquid insulation system (mineral oil) in transformers. Since ester oils are eco-friendly and biodegradable in nature. In this work, mineral oil and rapeseed oil are used as base fluids. Further, MO and RO are blended together at various ratios from 10 to 90%. The important characteristics like breakdown voltage, acidity, and dielectric loss of the oil samples are analyzed. Using fuzzy logic method, best optimistic liquid insulation sample is identified.
