Análisis comparativo entre el aceite mineral y aceite vegetal utilizado como fluido dieléctrico y refrigerante en transformadores de distribución.

Abstract

The present degree work is focused on analyzing and comparing characteristics of vegetable dielectric oils and mineral oils that are used as transformer coolants in the electrical sector, in order to examine their components and determine the incidence that each one has in the environment, in the useful life of the transformer and the level of danger they represent. For this purpose, a deductive quantitative research was carried out to identify the efficiency and reliability of the oil as a coolant in power transformers. The descriptive method is also applied, in order to detail principles and properties of vegetable oils have higher dielectric strength, have greater economic benefits, less danger of generating fires and are more beneficial to achieve optimal operation of distribution transformers. electrical. The contribution of this work is to determine the dielectric cooling capacity of vegetable oils with the capacity of mineral oils derived from petroleum, in electrical power transformers.
