Abstract

To decrease the insulation requirements and cost of transformers, the global transformer industry has been relentlessly striving to narrow the gap between net electrical stresses and dielectric withstand capability. One promising solution for high power density equipment is to blend coconut oil (CO) with the high-performance synthetic ester 'MIDEL 7131' fluid. In this study, the AC breakdown characteristics of various CO and MIDEL 7131 blends were analyzed, and it was determined that the most optimized AC breakdown performance under both new and aged conditions was achieved with a 40% volume of MIDEL 7131.
