Abstract

Researches related with the use of Natural Ester Fluids as refrigerant of power transformers have been developed in other countries with successful results. In Colombia there is no a procedure to control the use of these esters in electrical apparatus, so the current implementations are regulated by NTC 1465 standards for mineral esters. This new proposal involves the composition and the most relevant properties (the ignition resistance, impact on the lifetime of the insulating papers and the impact on the environment), which makes the application of natural esters fluids advantageous not only to preserve the environment but also to get a better performance of power transformers.
