Aplicação de Óleo Vegetal de Andiroba (Carapa guianensis) como Fluido Dielétrico em Transformadores de Potência.

Havana, Cuba, 2013.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/1021The study investigated the use of andiroba vegetable oil (Carapa guianensis) as an alternative dielectric fluid in power transformers, aiming to replace petroleum-derived mineral oils. Physical-chemical and electrical properties of the oil were evaluated and compared with technical standards (ABNT NBR 15422) and commercial oils (BIOTEMP®, ENVIROTEMP® FR3™). Results indicated that andiroba oil has suitable viscosity and density, is biodegradable, and non-corrosive. However, specific treatments are required to adjust parameters such as water content and dielectric strength. It was concluded that andiroba oil is a viable candidate for transformer applications, leveraging renewable resources from the Amazon.pdf.Óleo vegetal de andirobaTransformadores de potênciaFluido dielétricoBiodegradávelSustentabilidadeDissertação de MestradoEngenharia Elétrica
