Insulating oil modified by nanoparticle (often called nanofluids) has recently drawn considerable attention, especially concerning the improvement of electrical breakdown and thermal conductivity of the nanofluids. However, traditional insulating nanofluid often tends to high dielectric loss, which accelerates the ageing of nanofluids and limits its application in electrical equipment. In this paper, three core-shell Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles with different SiO2 shell thickness were prepared and subsequently dispersed into insulating oil to achieve nanofluids. The dispersion stability, breakdown voltages and dielectric properties of these nanofluids were comparatively investigated. Experimental results show the alternating current (AC) and positive lightning breakdown voltage of nanofluids increased by 30.5% and 61%, respectively. Moreover, the SiO2 shell thickness of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticle had significant effects on the dielectric loss of nanofluids.

Transformer insulating oils are exposed to repeated electrical discharge or breakdowns inside power transformers. Durability tests are conducted to analyze the ability of oil to resist decomposition due to such high electrical stresses. With the increasing demand for alternative insulating oils for oil-immersed transformers, it is worthy to compare the performance of different types of insulating oils (conventional mineral-based insulating oil and natural ester-based insulating oil) under repeated electrical breakdown. In this paper, the AC breakdown voltage of different mineral-based and natural ester-based insulating oils is reported. Durability tests were conducted based on the AC breakdown voltage behavior of insulating oils after 50 electrical breakdown shots. The AC breakdown voltage of each insulating oil sample was assessed according to the ASTM D1816 standard test method. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the dissimilarity in chemical composition of the insulating oils has a significant effect on the AC breakdown voltage behavior of these oils under repeated electrical breakdowns.

Despite being discovered more than 20 years ago, nanofluids still cannot be used in the power industry. The fundamental reason is that nano-insulating oil has poor stability, and its electrical performance decreases under negative impulse voltage. We found that C60 nanoparticles can maintain long-term stability in insulating oil without surface modification. C60 has strong electronegativity and photon absorption ability, which can comprehensively improve the electrical performance of insulating oil. This finding has great significance for the industrial application of nano-insulating oil. In this study, six concentrations of nano-C60 modified insulating oil (CMIO) were prepared, and their breakdown strength and dielectric properties were tested. The thermally stimulated current (TSC) curves of fresh oil (FO) and CMIO were experimentally determined. The test results indicate that C60 nanoparticles can simultaneously improve the positive and negative lightning impulse and power frequency breakdown voltage of insulating oil, while hardly increasing dielectric loss. At 150 mg/L, the positive and negative lightning impulse breakdown voltages of CMIO increased by 7.51% and 8.33%, respectively, compared with those of FO. The AC average breakdown voltage reached its peak (18.0% higher compared with FO) at a CMIO concentration of 200 mg/L. Based on the test results and the special properties of C60, we believe that changes in the trap parameters, the strong electron capture ability of C60, and the absorption capacity of C60 for photons enhanced the breakdown performance of insulating oil by C60 nanoparticles.

This paper presented the qualitative assessment of transformer insulating oil. The breakdown voltage, dielectric and acidity tests were electrically and chemically carried out on sixteen samples of transformer insulating oil collected from various serving distribution transformers in Ilorin Metropolis in Nigeria, through the supply authority. The adequacy of the obtained results was determined by comparing experimental values with America Society for Testing and British Standard (BTA4705) pre-requisites. About seventy five percent (75%) of the tested samples failed at least one of the tests, indicating inadequacy in the routine checks. Economic impacts of the obtained results and major causes and prevention of insulation oil degradation were also presented.

Moisture has a significant effect on the internal insulation performance of transformers, and is closely related to the breakdown voltage of transformer insulating oil. In the present work, we studied the effect of nano-SiO2 particles on the diffusion of water in insulating naphthenic mineral oil using molecular dynamics simulation. Six models were established, three of which contained nano-SiO2 particles together with water concentration of 1 wt.%, 2 wt.%, or 3 wt.%. For each model variations in free volume, mean square displacement, and interaction energy were assessed. The addition of nano SiO2 particles was found to reduce the free volume fraction of the model and as well as the free motion of water molecules in the oil. These particles also increased the interaction between the oil and water molecules, indicating that insulating oil containing nano-particles has a greater binding effect on water. The diffusion coefficient of water in oil containing nano-SiO2 particles was reduced, such that water molecules were less likely to diffuse. The results also show that these particles adsorb water molecules in the oil and to reduce diffusion. Consequently, the addition nano-scale SiO2 particles could potentially improve the breakdown voltage of the insulating oil.

Mineral oil (MO) works as an important electrical insulation and coolant in transformer which is non-biodegradable and nearly running out. Therefore, for sustainable and environmental concern, an alternative biodegradable insulating oil that potential to replace the mineral oil is introduced. In view of that, the breakdown strength characteristic of Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Oil (RBDPO) and MO mixtures were investigated by varying the mixing percentage of RBDPO from 0% to 100% at 40oC. The results showed that the breakdown strength of the oil mixture abruptly decline to the minimum breakdown voltage of 50 kV at  20% of  RBDPO mixture and gradually increased when  the ratio of the RBDPO is added. The highest breakdown strength is achieved 87kv at 80% of RBDPO content. The result of kinematic viscosity is also presented.

Generally, power transformers have been using mineral oil as a liquid insulator due to its availability and excellent dielectric property. However, petroleum sources are depleting, which implies that mineral oil is going to be limited in availability. So, this research is to investigate on vegetable oil with nanographene filler as a substitution. Vegetable insulating oil is considered as environment-friendly insulating oil due to their superiority of biodegradable, nature-friendly, high fire-point, and good level of breakdown voltage (BV). Nevertheless, vegetable insulating oil have high viscosity, leading to a slow flow rate on the cooling performance of power transformers. To solve this problem, a process of transesterification was used to produce palm oil methyl ester (POME) from a refined bleached deodorized palm olein (RBDPO) to reduce its viscosity. RBDPO and POME were used as two kinds of fluid-based to combine with graphene nanoparticles (GNPs). Electrical breakdown voltage tests were performed by the IEC60156 standard. The results shown that POME have higher BV than RBDPO but adding GNPs may lead to lower BV even with a small amount of concentration. Nevertheless, every nanofluid has a higher BV than 30 kV.
