Abstract

Oil-based commodities have long dominated the world's energy needs across a variety of industries.. Vegetable-based ester oil is provided as an environmentally friendly substitute for traditional mineral oil for fluid protection. In order to evaluate the essential characteristics of blended liquid as liquid insulation, various ratios of mineral and ester oil were combined in this study. Studies are being conducted on sunflower, safflower, and rice bran oils. Tests are carried out on viscosity, breakdown voltage, flash point, and pour point for different combinations in accordance with industry standards (IEC and ASTM). The study found that blended mixes exhibit quality fluctuations that suggest hopeful signs for mineral oil replacement.
