Silicone oil is one of the insulating liquids used in power transformers due to its high thermal stability and excellent dielectric properties. However, during operation, this oil may degrade because of thermal aging and contamination by solid particles such as Kraft paper. This study aims to analyze the effect of thermal aging and the presence of Kraft paper particles on the breakdown voltage …
This study aims to analyze the breakdown voltage characteristics of a mixture of mineral oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) with the addition of Aluminium Oxide (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles as filler. Mineral transformer oil is widely used due to its excellent dielectric strength but is not environmentally friendly. As an alternative, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is biodegradable and has a hig…
This study aims to analyze the effect of addition of ZnO, Al2O3, and TiO2 nanoparticles on breakdown voltage values. The test was conducted on soybean oil samples with varying concentrations of 0,1, 0,2, 0,3, and 0,4 wt% of each nanoparticles, as well as pure soybean oil to observe the effect of adding ZnO, Al2O3, and TiO2 nanoparticles. This test used ∅ 13 mm sphere electrode system with a 2…
