Space charge inhibition effect of nano-Fe3O4 on improvement of impulse breakdown voltage of transformer oil based on improved Kerr optic measurements

Transformer oil-based nanofluids (NFs) with 0.03 g/L Fe3O4 nanoparticle content exhibit 11.2% higher positive impulse breakdown voltage levels than pure transformer oils. To study the effects of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the space charge in transformer oil and to explain why the nano-modified trans...
