Analysis of Mineral Oil and Natural Ester Properties Affected by Antioxidants in Accelerated Aging Conditions

Researchers are working to extend and improve the lives of the insulating systems used in transformers as a result of increased power densities. Addictives like Anti Oxidant is added to the insulating liquid to slow down the oxidation process and lengthen its lifespan (LI). This study's primary goal is to comprehend how LIs with AO additions behave when subjected to thermal aging. Here, accelerated aging tests are performed to analyze butylated hydroxytoluene Anti Oxidant and organic component such as rapeseed oil and sunflower oil. Examined and contrasted are significant existence characteristics of suppressed and unsuppressed mineral oil, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil extracts. According to the experimental findings, samples that have been inhibited degrade at a slower rate than samples that are not. In addition, inhibited SFO samples perform on par with or better than mineral oil and rapeseed oil extracts.
