    One of the most important and expensive equipment a transmission and distribution network is the transformer. The main function of the transformer is to transform the energy power at the voltage which is best for the economy, thus sound electrical and thermal design of the transformer is paramount importance. Transformers are filled with fluids for dielectric and thermal purposes. Petroleum-based mineral oil used as a fluid to fulfil the dielectric and thermal requirement for over 100 years…

    One of the most important and expensive equipment a transmission and distribution network is the transformer. The main function of the transformer is to transform the energy power at the voltage which is best for the economy, thus sound electrical and thermal design of the transformer is paramount importance. Transformers are filled with fluids for dielectric and thermal purposes. Petroleum-based mineral oil used as a fluid to fulfil the dielectric and thermal requirement for over 100 years. Petroleum-based oil (Mineral oil) is not a biodegradable fluid and this led to the development of environmentally friendly ester insulating liquid for electrical power applications. The high fire point of ester oil reduces the risk for transformers installed in or close to a building or people or even for indoor applications. Also, they are biodegradable and fire-resistant fluid, however, has high viscosity than mineral oil which is a challenge for the transformer designer and manufacturers.
    VTC/GTC team has successfully designed and tested a 150 MVA transformer insulated with natural ester Envirotemp™ FR3™ fluid. Our team has built and tested units up to 750kVp Basic Insulation Level. Envirotemp™ FR3™ is a product from Cargill.
