Natural ester fluids, as a renewable, biodegradable liquid dielectric, its flash point is above 300°C, and the burning point exceeds 330°C, high flash point liquids known as ‘less flammable’ liquids. There is a possibility applying the natural ester fluid immersed transformer instead of dry type transformer in high fire resistance requirement occasion. In order to verify the fire resistance of natural ester insulating oil transformer, set forth a series of contrast test between natural ester insulating oil and mineral insulating oil, including flash point, burning point, explosion limits, metal hot surface test, and burning plate test. Through developing burning test platform of transformer to launch the burning test for 10 kV transformer of natural ester insulating oil. The results show that the transformer filled with natural ester fluid cannot burn for 30 min in the case of severe external fire, which provides a relatively abundant time for fire extinguishing and has certain fireproof performance. In addition, by improving the mechanical strength of transformer tank, install the specific pressure relief devices and using high temperature seal, bushing etc., which can improve the fire resistance of transformers filled with natural ester insulating fluids.
