Nano-based dielectric fluids (NDF) seem to be a good alternative for improving dielectric and thermal characteristics of conventional liquid dielectric systems used in power transformers. Fe3O4 (magnetite) nanoparticles (NP) is one of the most investigated type of NP. Some experiments have shown that with its addition to mineral oil (MO) and ester, increases in breakdown voltage (BV) can be achiev...Show More
In recent decades, it is being studied the effect of adding nanoparticles (NP) to liquid dielectrics such as mineral oil used in power transformers. This mixture is commonly named as nanodielectic fluid (NDF). The results show that the addition of NP to mineral oil can allows to improve the thermal and dielectric performance of the base fluid. These effects are attributed to the fact that the NP a...Show More
