Abstract
For a long time, oil-based commodities have dominated the world's energy requirements across a wide range of businesses. Vegetable-based ester oil is provided as an environmentally friendly fluid protection option to determine if it may be used to replace standard mineral oil. Various mineral and ester oil ratios were blended in this study to evaluate the essential characteristics of blended liquid as liquid insulation. Sunflower, safflower, and rice bran oils are being investigated. Viscosity, breakdown voltage, flash point, and pour point are tested according to industry standards for various combinations (IEC and ASTM). According to the study, blended combinations indicate variances in attributes towards positive signs for replacement with the mineral oil.
