Study of the Impregnation of Power-Transformer Cellulosic Materials With Dielectric Ester Oils

The application of alternative dielectric oils as esters in power transformers is hindered by the lack of knowledge regarding their properties and respecting which are the best techniques to ensure their proper performance. In this sense one of the fields needing an impulse is the impregnation proce...
