Feasibility study on the use of vegetable oil (natural ester) in Malaysia power system transformers

Power transformer insulation oil is critical to the useful life of the transformer. Although mineral base insulation oil is the most common type of transformer insulation oil in use, environmental and safety concerns has encouraged the development of biodegradable alternatives. Today, Envirotemp FR3...
