Determination at Variable Temperatures and Analysis of the Physico-Thermal Properties of Palm Kernel and Castor Oil Methyl Esters as Dielectrics for Power Transformers
Abstract:Transformers have always used mineral oil as a liquid dielectric, and scientists have noted its harmful effects on human health and the environment. For more than two years, these vegetable oils have been positioned as real substitutes for mineral oils in view of their excellent physical, chemical and thermal properties. However, being oils sometimes intended for human consumption, such as sunflower oil, corn oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, soya oil, rice bran oil, coconut oil, palm oil and many others, it is im… Show more
