Experimental Analysis on the Combination of Jatropha Oil and Silk Cotton Oil for Transformer

In this paper our new idea describes the alternative of transformer oil. One of the mainly significant equipment in electrical power system is Transformer. For the most part of the transformers are by means of oil as the cooling Medium and normally use fuel base oil. mainly the cause of choosing petroleum based oil as transformer oil for the reason that it have a superior dielectric strength and cooling concert. Though the usage of Transformer oil has unnatural the surroundings as its non-biodegrability possessions and nonrenewable resources. So the Mineral oil or Transformer oil was replaced by alternatives such as combination of Jatropha oil and silk cotton oil of Ethyl Ester(SCOEE) due to their biodegradability and environmental friendly. Basically Jatropha oil and SCOEE has high dielectric property. The various blends were prepared using Jatropha oil (J) and SCOEE (S) in the ratio of J80 -S20 and S80 - J20. Several Physical, Chemical and Electrical tests were carried out. On the combination of Jatropha oil and SCOEE and their blends using advanced testing devices in oil - testing laboratory. The test results were compared with Indian Standards IS - 335(1993), which describes about the characteristics of non insulating oils. It was found that the test results of combination of Jatropha oil and SCOEE were in good agreement with IS. Hence it can be conclude that the combination of Jatropha oil and SCOEE has good performance characteristics in terms of insulation and Cooling property, which make it suitable to use it as alternative conventional transformer oil in future.
