Abstract

This study tries to bring a complex
summary of properties of natural ester fluids from the point of view of
electrical insulation fluid for high voltage power transformers. Although many
papers have been published in this area, this study try to address some less known problems which however plays
a key role in new fluid practical applications. Some differences compared to mineral oils are discussed in study. The
critical values that might occur in the future for industrial applications are
proposed, evaluated and discussed.

Keywords
