Abstract
Mineral oil has been the preferred insulating fluid in power electrical equipment for more than 100 years. Undesirable characteristics of mineral oil, such as lower fire point, environmental concerns and degradation of insulation paper, has spurred the industry to develop alternative insulating systems. Recently developed seed based oils have been proven to provide better performance in all of the objectionable categories of mineral oil. This paper will provide an introduction to these new oils and explain the advantages of using this fluid in new transformer and as a retrofill alternative.
