Title A name given to the resource Investigation of dielectric properties of indigenous blended ester oil for electric system applications Subject The topic of the resource Antioxidants; Degasification; Indigenous oil Description An account of the resource The insulation condition of a transformer decides the longevity of the equipment. The unpredicted failure of power transformer will lead to major disaster in the distribution network and it affects both environment and public safety. Nowadays synthetic oil and natural esters are alternatives to transformer oil because of the biodegradable nature. In this paper, investigations were carried out to study the performance of the blended ester. The different properties investigated were viscosity, breakdown voltage, flash point, dielectric dissipation factor and moisture content. Comparisons of the properties were made between mineral oil, vegetable oil without additives and with additives. Further Investigation was carried out to study the impact of antioxidants and degasification. The results indicated that the addition of antioxidants and degasification of the vegetable oil improve significantly its voltage withstanding capacity. The Indigenous oil is code named as DM; Indigenous oil with DBPC is codenamed as DM1, Indigenous oil with BHA is codenamed as DM2. The results have been tabulated and found to be satisfactory. 2020 ASTES Publishers. All rights reserved.
