An Investigation on Vegetable Oils as Potential Insulating Liquid
نویسندگان
چکیده
While choosing insulating oil, characteristic features such as thermal cooling, endurance, efficiency and being environment-friendly should be considered. Mineral oils are referred as petroleum-based oil. In this study, vegetable oils investigated as an alternative insulating liquid to mineral oil. Dissipation factor, breakdown voltage, relative dielectric constant and resistivity changes with the frequency and voltage of mineral, rapeseed and nut oils were measured. Experimental studies were performed according to ASTM D924 and IEC 60156 standards. Keywords—Breakdown voltage, dielectric dissipation factor, mineral oil, vegetable oils.

The infrastructure of the electricity grid and super grid system in the hitherto industrialized world was to a large extent built up in the decades following World War II with a peak in investments around 1960-1980. This means that the flotilla of power transformers is now starting to reach projected lifetime of around 40 years. During the last couple of decades there has also been an ongoin...
متن کاملDetermination of triacylglycerol composition in vegetable oils using high-performance liquid chromatography: a collaborative study.
Triacylglycerol (TAG) composition in vegetable oils was collaboratively analyzed in 9 laboratories using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a refractive index detector. Dococyl (C22) and triacontyl (C30) silica columns were used for analysis. The TAG molecular species in soybean, rapeseed, and palm oils were individually separated on the chromatogram. The collaborative ...
